The hotel is situated in the heart of the old city of Malacca, surrounded by an array of antique and bric-a-brac shops, just a short stroll from the historical precinct. Sentral Bus Station is just a 10-minute drive from the hotel, while the North-South Highway is just 30 minutes away. It is just a leisurely stroll or a picturesque trishaw ride to the famous Jonker Street, the Stadthyus, A' Famosa, and other wonderful tourist attractions. The hotel is quartered in a quaint manor - stately on the outside, brimming with old world charm on the inside. It is a jewel of Peranakan heritage and was once the home of rubber plantation owner and philanthropist, Tan Jiak Choo, the grandson of Malaysia's best-known philanthropist Tan Kim Seng. Today, it epitomises the solace and beauty of old world charisma presented in a hotel that is unlike any other. Carefully restored and preserved, it is a show house of the elegant Perankan manor exclusive to Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. It embodies all the distinct characteristics of manor living from a grand by-gone era. The solid ancient marble and wood, intricately carved wall panels, finely decorated stairwell, lush green Sekaya Garden and a quaint cafe are just some of the details that recreate a unique and charming ambience. The hotel offers 44 guest rooms and 6 suites and facilities include a lobby with hotel safe and a currency exchange facility. Dining facilities and room service are also available.
