The Grand Lady of Malacca

THE GRAND LADY OF MALACCA

Formally a private residence, The Majestic Malacca was built in 1929 for a prominent Chinese tycoon who acquired the land from St. Peter's Church. The land lies on the riverbank of the Melaka River and encompassed the present hotel site and the adjacent land currently occupied by a hospital. It was an expansive six-room mansion and was built in an architectural style that was a unique mix of Straits and Neo-classic architecture.
