Our Hotel During Our Stay - Hotel Equatorial.
Good price with fabulous view! On top of that, we were given $80 voucher each room to utilise in the hotel.
If you choose not to use it / utilise every dollar, the hotel will refund you 50% based on the remaining value. We suggest just use it and enjoy a great meal at the famous paranakan restaurant in the hotel
Dataran Pahlawan Shopping Mall opposite Hotel Equatorial
Fort A Famosa
It is constructed by the Portuguese in 1511, it has suffered severe structural damage during the Dutch invasion. The plan by the British to destroy it was aborted as a result of the intervention of Sir Stamford Raffles in 1808.
St Paul's Church:
It is constructed by the Portuguese captain, Duarte Coelho. This church was named "Our Lady of The Hill", but was later turned into a burial ground by the Dutch for their noble dead, and renamed "St. Paul's Church". Currently the church is part of the Malaccan Museums Complex. The body of St. Francis Xavier was interred here temporarily before it was taken to Goa, India
Melaka Christ Church
Constructed in 1753, the structure reflects original Dutch architecture. The building houses hand-crafted church benches, jointless ceiling skylights, a copper replica of the Bible, a headstone written in the Armenian language, and a replica of "The Last Supper".
Melaka River Cruise
The boat will cruise up the shallow Melaka River from her river mouth to Jeti Melaka where the boat makes her return trip. The distance is about 9 km from the jetty and takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. A tour guide will highlight interesting things to you. Interestingly, the Melaka River once was dubbed as “Venice of The East” and today, this Melaka River become the new attraction in Melaka. Total Cost 10RM per pax
