Entertaining guests since the 1950s, this 1920s grand mansion is one of two exceptionally deluxe offerings in historic Malacca.

After a sometimes busy and congested arrival in this busy port town, the pastel coloured, cool hotel lobby with its ample indoor foliage and period furniture seems like an oasis.

The exquisite rooms and suites at The Majestic Malacca are very much in keeping with the hotel’s original heritage, with dark woods, four poster beds, luxurious fabrics and detailed furnishings. Even with culinary Malacca on your doorstep, the hotel’s excellent restaurant should be visited at least once. The exceptional Kristang cuisine of the region is beautifully represented by the the head chef.

Why we love it

“Loved Malaysia, loved Malacca, and loved the Majestic. Would definitely recommend the restaurant too.”

Somewhere to call home for a while…

Restaurant at Majestic Malacca

There’s nothing better than a great location combined with fantastic accommodation; somewhere you can really look forward to coming back to after a night out in Malaysia’s famous port. The Majestic is an elegant inclusion to the plethora of heritage hotels in Malaysia. While the accommodation tower is modern, the entrance and public rooms are a riot of nostalgia, and high tea in the library is a must.

What can you do there?

The hotel is a great base for seeing the historic city of Malacca, and it’s the city that takes centre stage, but a relaxing, pre-dinner swim after venturing out is surely the order of the day, perhaps after taking high tea in the library? The hotel also offers a free walking tour of the city each evening at 5pm.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Susan Bartlett, Thailand

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Rob Clarkson, Vietnam

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Alice, Sri Lanka

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.
