The Majestic Malacca : an exotic Malaysian getaway

Overlooking a river that once bustled with Chinese junks and other vessels carrying spices, the Majestic Malacca has served since 1929 as a window into a country once split between the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The estate has maintained its charm throughout a series of successful renovations, and its history-laden architecture is imbued with a wide range of multicultural influences.
