Heeren Straits Hotel Melaka
The Heeren Straits Hotel is a 4-star hotel located along Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, one of the most famous streets in all of Melaka, somewhere in the heart of Melaka city. From the outside, it may not look like much, as it is a rather tiny hotel, only taking up a singular house’s worth of space. On the inside, however, be ready to be transported back in time as the aesthetic and the architecture are straight out of Peranakan Melaka. The hotel is a refurbished Peranakan townhouse, and now houses an on-site restaurant on the bottom floor and living quarters in the upper one. The aesthetic and general look is lovingly crafted to reflect on the rich history of Melaka’s Peranakan culture, which is a mix of Chinese and Malay ethnicities, and it pays homage rather well with the authentic recreations of Peranakan interior design as well as choice of décor, albeit with a modern twist.
The area of Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock is relatively close to many of Melaka’s attractions, both historical and new. Both the Porta de Santiago and the Sam Po Kong temple are within a 10-minute drive away from the property, as well as the shopping paradise of Dataran Pahlawan and the Mahkota Parade beside it. Food and drink are also in abundance, and you can get anything from fast food to local fare as well as desserts and drinks for late nights. Restaurants such as the Pak Putra Tandoori Chicken and Asam Pedas Claypot are a brisk walk away, and cafés and bars such as the Hard Rock Café and the Jonker 88 are within a short drive.
Available Room Types
The rooms here are beautifully designed and decorated, incorporating hints of Peranakan culture in the little details here and there. The floors are authentic and feel close to the source material, as the tiles have the exact look and feel of a 1960s Nyonya house flooring. All rooms here come with a view of the surrounding area as well as the garden (except the Junior Room), air conditioning, free WiFi, a flat screen TV with satellite channels, and a private bathroom with rain showers and high quality bath amenities.
