M Boutique Hotel Ipoh is a charming boutique property that blends colonial-era aesthetics with a youthful urban twist. Inspired by the architectural style of Malaya’s pre-war shophouses, the hotel’s unique “Straits Eclectic” design is creatively reinterpreted with modern vintage touches, quirky details, and storytelling elements. Every corner of the hotel reflects thoughtful design, from its themed rooms to the curated typography and artwork that pays tribute to local history—most notably the story of D’Arcy Hugh Hilton Bird, a historical figure believed to have once lived on the site the hotel now occupies​. The hotel’s distinctive character and attention to detail make it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that celebrates both nostalgia and individuality.
