PEKAN: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has officially opened the Ancasa Royale hotel here today, the first four-star resort-styled facility in the royal town of Pahang.
Najib said Pekan had several elements that helped attract investors, such as UDA Holdings Berhad, namely its status as the royal town, its position as the automotive and education hubs apart from various tourist attractions it offers.
"The development and transformation process in Pekan has attracted UDA Holdings to invest RM70 million to build this hotel, which facilities equal those with a five-star rating," he said when opening the hotel.
The seven-storey hotel, with 133 rooms, has all the latest facilities including the main ballroom and several functions rooms, swimming pool, gymnasium and spa.
Ancasa Royale is the fifth hotel under UDA Ancasa Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of UDA Holdings.
