Location:
The
historic seaside city of Malacca is steeped in a rich tapestry of multicultural
influences reflected in its heritage architecture, diverse lifestyles and
eclectic cuisine. Located on the banks of the river which in yesteryear
teemed with Chinese junks and spice-laden vessels from all over the world,
The Majestic Malacca provides a glimpse into the splendid saga of an extraordinary
empire. The Majestic Malacca 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. From the original porcelain flooring,
teakwood fittings, intricate artwork and antiques, to the finely crafted
Nyonya cuisine, every aspect echoes the history of the region, and offers
a beguiling journey through this enchanting heritage.
Rooms: Each
room is sumptuously appointed, in an elegant combination of luxury, tradition
and modernity. Bespoke furnishings call to mind the glory days of old Malacca,
while floor to ceiling windows framed by silk drapes bathe the room with
soft light. Standing on warm timber floors is an inviting four poster bed
finished in rich teak and dressed in cool cottons with an ornate silk runner.
A matching silk-upholstered chaise lounge provides a cosy spot to gaze
out over the river and let your imagination take you back in time. There
are 52 Deluxe Rooms and 2 Suites, each with a flat screen colour TV with
satellite and music channels, a safe deposit box, mini-bar, tea and coffee
making facilities, hairdryer, writing desk and an IDD telephone. The marble
bathroom has a clawfoot bathtub, separate glass-enclosed rainforest shower
and a marble top vanity counter.
