Hotels in Perak, Malaysia

Perak is a state in northwestern Malaysia with a tropical climate averaging 82-90°F (28-32°C) year-round, famous for Ipoh's colonial-era streets, limestone caves, and Pangkor Island's beaches. During the drier months from December to February, you can snorkel in Pangkor's crystal-clear waters or hike through Cameron Highlands' tea plantations, where the temperature drops to 60-70°F (15-21°C). In the wetter season from April to October, explore Ipoh's 19th-century Hakka shophouses and sample white coffee, or visit upriver to see the Kantan Elephant Sanctuary and Kellie's Castle, an unfinished mansion built in 1909.
