Hotel Overview

Sense of Place

The Majestic Malacca is set by the Malacca River in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Malacca City. Housed in a 1920s mansion, this hotel transports guests to a slower pace of living in a spot which was once the commercial hub of Eastern trade.

Rooms at The Majestic Malacca

The rooms feature colonial-inspired decor such as wooden shutters, regal four-poster beds and Malaysian silk drapes, which create an air of both grandeur and intimate privacy. Timber floors are accented with oriental rugs while spacious bathrooms with standalone bathtubs provide the ideal space to unwind.

Recline near the large windows on the silk-upholstered chaise longues as the light streams in, and enjoy a cup of tea as you look out over the river or the quaint Malay village of Kampung Morten.

Food & Drink

Take a seat in the private rooms of The Mansion restaurant, surrounded by elegant furnishings and warm-hued wooden floors, for your first taste of Kristang-inspired cuisine as well as a range of Malay, Nyonya, Portuguese and Indian dishes which reflect Malacca's rich cultural history.

There's also a cosy lounge which is ideal for afternoon tea, as well as a saloon-like bar where you can stop over for a tipple of whiskey or a delicious cocktail.

Facilities

Rejuvenate your body and mind with some healing age-old therapies and treatments at the Spa Village Malacca, before unwinding on the traditional Peranakan Chinese day beds, or take a soothing swim in the pool before heading to the peaceful library and curling up with a good book.
