1825 Gallery Hotel

Hotel Malacca

A converted 1825 warehouse on the Melaka River now hosts art-focused hotel rooms, blending heritage architecture with contemporary works and a river-facing cafe.

The Building

The hotel occupies a two-story warehouse built in 1825 along the Melaka River, now restored and repurposed as a 29-room boutique hotel. The structure retains its period proportions and timber details while housing contemporary art exhibitions and river-view accommodations. Its riverside location puts it within walking distance of Jonker Walk and Dutch Square.

Rooms and Facilities

Each guest room features original artwork on the walls, paired with modern bedding and air conditioning. The riverside café serves local and international fare, ideal for breakfast or sunset drinks overlooking the water. An in-house art gallery on the ground floor rotates curated exhibitions reflecting both Melakan culture and contemporary works.

Location and Nearby

The hotel sits on Jalan Bunga Raya in Kampung Jawa, a neighborhood mixing colonial-era shophouses with local eateries. Jonker Street’s antique dealers and restaurants are a five-minute walk away; Dutch Square and Stadthuys are equally close. The main historical district unfolds in all directions from this central riverside position.
