nicest hotel in the historical city

the last time we were here, we stayed in the equator club rooms coz there were no other rooms left.. pretty pricey and don't see much difference from the standard room.. pretty small and crampy.. but it being one of the newer ones, it's very well kept.. if you wanna be walking distance to everything and yet have a nice hotel, this is the place to go..

Unique Quality: we were given a room in the upper floors, so we got a decent view of the city.. with some historical places within sight.. other than that, they have all the trimmings of a 4-star hotel.. oh, rooms come with a buffet breakfast which is pretty okie.. :)

Malaysia Africa Connection

Malaysia has heavily invested in some of the african countries.. Ghana, Tanzania and Zimbabwe among them.. In South America, I think it is Bolivia.. The current president of Bolivia grew up in Kuala Lumpur..
In any case, with the current despotic regime in Zimbabwe, it does leave a little distaste that the Govt of Zimbabawe, meaning Mr Mugabe is part owner of Hotel Equatorial!!!

Friendly Service, Central and Good Views of Melaka

The only five star hotel in Melaka, it deserves its rating. Wonderfully friendly staff, very attentive, especially Eveline at the front desk and Randhir who is trying to imitate eveline's good qualities..
Excellent food at its five restaurants, possibly also the best in Melaka.
Marble stair cases, chandeliers in the lobby...
close to the city centre and the shopping plaza at mahkota plaza..

The Dim Sum which I cannot partake in many of the chinese restaurants in Malaysia ( because of too many pork based dishes, I am Jewish ) is offered here as Brunch on
Sundays... and it is Halal.. safe for a jew to eat!!

Unique Quality: Service at the Front Desk
Seri Nyonya Melaka Cuisine
Phoenix Szechuan and Cantonese Restaurant
Comfortable large rooms
Good Views over Malacca
