Inspired by the city’s history and tradition the Courtyard @ Heeren Boutique Hotel offers a taste of the old world combined with the best in modern design and convenience. Located in the UNESCO Heritage City of Malacca in the Old Chinatown area, the hotel is just a few steps from Jonker Street and the famous weekend market.

Whichever type of room you choose, each offers a distinct experience of luxury living with a style that is designed to be individual. There are fourteen rooms and suites in total, all with air conditioning, LCD TV, safe deposit box, writing desk, rain shower, mini bar fridge and hair dryer as standard. Each also has complimentary tea and coffee making facilities, mineral water, basic toiletries and daily newspaper. Superior rooms feature clean, modern lines blended with quality wooden furnishings and modern colour schemes. Deluxe rooms have added facilities included iPod docks or Bluetooth music systems, as well as larger ornate beds. Spacious family rooms and suites are ideal for those travelling with children.  For the best rooms in the house opt for the luxury suites and enjoy rain showers, jacuzzi tubs or private terraces with garden views.

This small boutique hotel has limited facilities but a delicious breakfast is served at the Café opposite, which is also owned by the Courtyard @ Hereen team. The local breakfast dishes are by far the best. For lunch or dinner there are many restaurants dotted around the neighbouring streets, all accessible in walking distance.
