of town, this homestay-style guesthouse is in a simple yet beautiful old Malay house com-
plete with creaky wood floors, louvred shutters and bright paint.
You can chill out in the enormous garden (look for ripe mangoes) or take a stroll out the
back gate through tiny lanes that meander into Chinatown.

Melaka's most
elegant hotel is an interesting mix: the lobby is in a 1920s colonial Chinese mansion while
the bulk of the hotel is in a tasteful modern building behind. Rooms continue with this old
and new theme with hardwood floors, sheer ivory-coloured drapes and heritage-style
wood furnishings - yet all are very modern in their level of comfort. Of course the place is
stacked with amenities including a small swimming pool, gym, a top-notch spa and stellar
service.
