 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.
Founded centuries ago by a Sumatran prince, Malacca grew to become a powerful sultanate and the centre of the lucrative spice trade, visited by Arab, Tamil and Chinese merchants and subjected to dominance by the Portuguese, Dutch and British in turn. Each left their mark, creating the unique and enduring allure of the city today.
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.
Immerse yourself in the essence of Malacca, wander the meandering 600 year old narrow pathways, explore the red-brick Dutch colonial buildings or search out genuine relics and antiques in the narrow old shophouses on Jonker Street. Rejuvenate with a bowl of refreshing Peranakan cendol in the dining room within the hotel or soothe tired muscles with a relaxing massage at the Spa Village Malacca.

Dining
Malacca is a heady melange of Dutch, Portuguese, English, Chinese, Indian and Malay - a repository of much colonial heritage and custom intertwined with local practice. Its rich history is reflected in many facets of the city including its cuisine.
In particular, the delicious Nyonya cuisine has developed in Malacca from the intermarriage of the Malays and early Chinese settlers over centuries, creating a distinctive culture known as Peranakan. Nyonya recipes are complicated affairs, often requiring many hours of preparation and blending of aromatic spices and fragrant leaves and roots.
The Majestic Malacca invites you to delight in the exquisite melding of robust and subtle flavours in a superb range of Nyonya dining experiences.
The Mansion
The dining room, with its original Straits Settlement windows overlooking the Malacca River and Kampung Morten, offers a casual atmosphere for breakfast and dinner. Gourmet travellers will be well catered for, as dishes from the Portuguese, Dutch, English, and Baba-Nyonya cultures are combined in an adventurous menu that takes guests on a true culinary journey of the region. Savour the freshest ingredients infused with a rich combination of spices and aromas in an eclectic selection of Nyonya appetisers, soups, salads and colourful Nyonya desserts. This venue accommodates up to 106 persons and has two private dining room options.
The Lounge at The Mansion
Located at the heart of the hotel, The Lounge at The Mansion presents an inviting space, ideal for midday refreshments, afternoon tea or just conversation.
The Bar at The Mansion
Positioned near the entrance of the hotel, The Bar at The Mansion is the perfect place to unwind and relax, warmly welcoming guests for a round of drinks and a casual chat. The environment is created in traditional colonial style and provides a luxurious location to relax and choose from an extensive range of whiskey, cocktails and other drinks – a wonderfully comfortable setting in which to plan your next activity or review the day that has passed.

Conference Hall
The centre of commerce for the exotic East, Malacca was an essential port of call during the 15th century for merchants from India, China and Arabia. The city's prosperity was due to its strategic position half way between India and China, thus making it a highly powerful hub along the lucrative spice trade route. It was in this bustling city that deals were made, bargains were sealed, ties were established and agreements were reached.
The commercial foundations of Malacca are reflected today in The Majestic Malacca; designed to provide the ideal setting for constructive and productive business interactions or top-class social events. Just a short drive south of Kuala Lumpur and a few hours from Singapore, the hotel is the ideal venue for meetings and gatherings away from the bustle of the city.
Four comfortable conference rooms on the third floor are designed with the most modern technology available, ensuring that all meetings are as productive as possible. Meeting and function attendees can comfortably relax and focus on successful outcomes, while the hotel competently manages the logistics and details.
Whether it is a brainstorm session, a highly focused goal-oriented meeting, or a corporate retreat for you and your team, an event at The Majestic Malacca provides an environment ideal for generating creativity and productivity, as well as building enduring bonds.
