AMES HOTEL in Melaka: A 5-Star Stay with Stylish Adult Time at the Rooftop MOONBAR at Night [Hotel in Malaysia]

AMES HOTEL

Hello! I’m Aya, a Japanese wife living in Malaysia.

Due to a sharp surge in infections, Malaysia has re-imposed lockdowns in many areas, including the central districts, starting yesterday. These are uncertain times, but please stay home! We hope the pandemic will end as soon as possible.

Today, we’re introducing the 5-star AMES Hotel in Malacca. Relax your mind and body in its spacious and comfortable surroundings. Located in Ayer Keroh, the first area you enter when traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca, the hotel is just a 20–30 minute drive from the well-known tourist spot, Jonker Street. Ayer Keroh is home to several attractions, including the Malacca International Trade Centre, Malacca Botanical Garden, Malacca Crocodile Farm, Malacca Zoo, and Mini Malaysia & ASEAN Cultural Park. This area has been recently well-developed and is becoming a popular tourist destination. When returning to KL from Malacca, the highway is conveniently close, making it about a 1.5-hour drive to Pavilion Mall in Kuala Lumpur’s bustling city center. Why not try staying in Ayer Keroh?

With its elegant interior, the room is truly beautiful. The chic space is subtly accented with marble desks and gold touches, exuding a sense of luxury, while the intricate carpet pattern adds a stylish flair. It’s a high-quality space where you can relax and unwind with your family, making it a highly recommended hotel for your stay in Malacca.

We stayed in a slightly larger-than-usual room for our party of three adults and one baby. The spacious layout gave the kids plenty of room to run around.

There’s also a desk. With plenty of surfaces to place items, it was incredibly convenient for us, especially since we were traveling with a baby and lots of luggage.

There’s also a small stand beneath the TV, perfect for placing various items.

The closet, refrigerator, electric kettle, water, coffee, and tea bags are all provided.

There is a window between the bathroom, toilet, and the room, which can be opened and closed using a roller blind.

It features a large bathtub.

The lights on either side of the mirror make the bathroom bright and perfect for applying makeup.
