Located close to Melaka’s hotspots, including the city’s largest mall, Hatten Place Melaka is both hip and innovative. It has high-speed Internet access, shuttle service, in-room dining, and even laundry and dry cleaning services! Not to mention, it’s home to the tallest viewing deck in Melaka, Sky Deck @ Hatten City. We must say, going there was definitely the highlight of our stay! With its panoramic views, now you can experience the city while enjoying the many wonderful amenities of Hatten Place Melaka!
Considering this is Hatten Place’s smallest accommodation, the Superior Room is rather spacious. It already comes with a double bed, a 40-inch LED television set, and an in-room safe for keeping your important belongings! Enjoy your view of the city or courtyard right outside your window.
Just a few square metres larger than the previous room, the Superior Plus Room lets you see unbeatable sea views without having to leave your private space. It also features an individually controlled air-conditioning unit, a generous work desk, and an LED television with selected ASTRO channels!
Travelling as a small group? The hotel’s Deluxe Room is ideal for you. It has a cosy day bed, plus you have the option of requesting an additional bed for better convenience. The room is also equipped with a 48-inch LED television and coffee and tea making facilities.
Available for the Superior, Superior Plus and Deluxe Room categories, connecting rooms give you the option to customise your stay. Enjoy a total space of over 41 sqm, two units of LED television sets, and rain and hand showers. Needless to say, you also get twice the number of sightseeing options through your room windows.
Experience maximum VIP treatment with a separate bedroom and living room at Hatten Place’s One Bedroom Suite. In addition, there’s a separate bathtub and standing rain shower! All 20 units offer a panoramic view of both the city and the sea. From our experience, any of the two sceneries does a good job at helping one recharge from an action-packed day in Melaka (or prepare for one).
Keeping yourself entertained while staying in won’t be a problem at the expansive Two Bedroom Suite. It has three LED televisions set up in different areas of the accommodation. It also features two bedrooms giving you and your fellow guests better privacy. This made it the perfect choice for our group of four during our short visit to Melaka!

You might ask, is there even such a term? Apparently, in this particular hotel in Melaka, there is!
