The
Lakehouse ? Cameron Highlands, located on the north-western part
of the state of Pahang, Malaysia?s largest and most popular hill
retreat, reopens for business after the completion of one and half
months of renovation.
A heritage of Malaysia?s colonial past, The Lakehouse is a Tudor-style
country house decorated in old world charm interiors of plush carpets
and antique furnishings. With the renovation, all its 18 rooms and
suites furnished with four-poster bed have been refurbished with
new plush floral carpets in a soft beige shade, matching country-style
draperies and warm beige lampshades that enhance the rooms with
a warm and cosy atmosphere. Added amenities include antique desk

?The resort has been refurbished to replace and update some of its
furnishings as well as redesign some of its facilities to offer
a more conducive and invigorating experience for guests, yet still
retaining our old world charm which our guests have come to associate
with the property. The property features a spectacular charm with
its verdant surroundings and we are thrilled to welcome back our
return guests to this serene haven and also confident to entice
new guests to experience this boutique resort,? said Mr Krishna
Badhur, Hotel Manager of The Lakehouse, Cameron Highlands.
While respecting the resort?s traditional architecture and environment,
simple modern touches and classic antique decorative pieces were
mixed with the resort?s existing furnishings, radiating charm in
a warm homey atmosphere. The resort?s facilities have also been
refurbished with new plush carpets, draperies, re-upholstered chairs
and the installation of ceiling fan and satellite TV set in the
