This air-conditioned hotel is an integral part of Malacca's colourful history. The original serene mansion, dating back to the 1920's, remains at the heart of the hotel, whilst a new building has been created, mirroring the original architecture, to house 54 spacious rooms and suites. The design integrates old with new, modern with historic, ensuring that the total experience is one that is authentic, honouring the past while bringing every modern convenience to bear. There is a lobby with a 24-hour reception, a restaurant and conference facilities. Guests can also use the laundry service. The lobby is located in the heart of the original mansion. Furnished with teakwood fittings, oriental rugs, porcelain lamps and artwork of the bygone eras, the area exudes the warmth and luxury fit for the discerning guest. Original Portuguese porcelain tiles, turquoise wooden shutters, and intricate cornices bring guests to a beguiling journey through an enchanting heritage.

Located on the banks of the river, which in yesteryear teemed with Chinese junks and spice-laden vessels from all over the world, this city hotel provides a glimpse into the splendid saga of an extraordinary empire. The tourist centre, Jonker's Street, and the Stadhuys are a 15-minute drive from the hotel. A'Famosa (fort) and the Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum can be reached by car in 20 minutes.
