Nestled in the Titiwangsa Range of Malaysia’s Pahang state, Fraser’s Hill is a serene highland retreat known for its lush greenery, cool climate, and colonial charm. Named after Scottish adventurer Louis James Fraser, who mysteriously vanished while searching for tin in the area during the early 1900s, Fraser’s Hill soon became a popular hill station for British colonialists seeking respite from the tropical heat.
Today, Fraser’s Hill retains much of its colonial-era charm while offering a peaceful escape for those looking to explore its rich history, scenic hiking trails, and wildlife – thus earning the nickname of Malaysia’s ‘Little England’. At the heart of this destination, located a two-hour drive away from Kuala Lumpur, is the recently refurbished and rebranded Wyndham Garden Shahzan Fraser’s Hill (formerly known as Shahzan Inn Fraser’s Hill).
Set to redefine hospitality in the area, this upper midscale hotel complements its surrounding old-world allure with modern comforts and dedicated service to offer guests utter relaxation. Designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers, Wyndham Garden Shahzan Fraser’s Hill promises to elevate tourism in this underrated hideaway location.
