Puri Hotel Melaka - Thinking of you



I was thinking about this hotel named the Puri Hotel. I stayed there with my best Friend Imogen. She enjoyed the stay there too. Hotel Puri Melaka is a boutique hotel in the heart of the old city of Malacca. It is a 30 minute drive from the North-South Highway (Malacca/Ayer Keroh exit), and 10 minute drive from the bus station (Sentral). Surrounded by antique and bric-a-brac shops, it is only a stroll away from Malacca's historical precinct.

The hotel is a carefully restored Peranakan house which once belonged to the decendants of an eminent philanthropist and rubber plantation owner, Tan Kim Seng. Extending 100 metres long, its distinct characteristics are its beautiful and intricately decorated façade and the impressive length of the house. Retaining its old charm, Hotel Puri Melaka provides modern amenities to its hotel guests.

A delightful little find in the heart of Melaka, Hotel Puri is a 50-room Heritage hotel that provides a convenient focal point from which visitors can conduct their own historical and cultural tours.
