IPOH, 12th December 2014 – Thong Fook Group wholly-owned WEIL Resources has opened its first flagship hotel in Malaysia. The WEIL Hotel is set in the heart of Ipoh, a transit hub where local and international tourists, business travellers and families travelling up north, east-west and down south through Ipoh, including interstate city travellers, convene.
With its strategic location, the WEIL Hotel affords its guests a truly connected lifestyle. Currently served by the Electric Train Service from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh and major highways from north-south and east-west bound of Peninsular Malaysia, the hotel is well connected by excellent transportation network to attract inbound travellers within Malaysia and Asia.

“The Thong Fook Group has been in Malaysia since 1945 via the ground nut Pagoda brand. Over the years, we have grown and diversified our business in the plastics manufacturing and precision plastic moulding industries into other industries with interests particularly in the fast-moving consumer goods, wellness and now, the hospitality industry. The unveiling of WEIL Hotel is a showcase of our foray into the hospitality industry,” said Mr. Liew Yu-Wei, Executive Director, WEIL Resources Sdn. Bhd.
“With the opening of WEIL Hotel, we have further extended our footprint in Perak, Malaysia and Asia. We bring about a new concept to the hospitality industry where we blend quality hotel services with premium amenities. We foresee WEIL Hotel will bring about a change in the business, socio-economic and lifestyle landscape in Ipoh in particular and to the state of Perak in general,” he added.
The WEIL Hotel consists of 313 units of rooms and suites. Travellers will also enjoy specially handpicked and designed bedding, room furnishings and fittings that offer exquisite comfort to the discerning travellers and immerse themselves in a luxurious home-away-from-home experience.

“That’s why we are calling WEIL Hotel, a bespoke hotel (define as ‘made-to-order). We aim to be the preferred hotel in Ipoh, not just by our fittings and furnishings but also our people. We have put emphasis in the décor to deliver sophistication, warmth and comfort, while implementing training programmes to continuously develop our employees to become exemplary service professionals,” claimed Liew.
