The Port Dickson project will include the city’s largest convention center and will be home to a 30,000-square meter water park. The project is scheduled to open mid-2019. With Kuala Lumpur just a short distance away, pristine coastal properties, and 5-star marinas like The Admiral Marina & Leisure Club, Port Dickson has continued to gain notoriety as a business hub and vacation destination.

Quest being a branded hotel, we will attract 20% more business than a non-branded hotel.
