We invite you to visit us and to allow us to shower you with good old fashioned Melakan hospitality. Experience "Heritage Woven in Hospitality" in a setting that is truly Malaysian, truly Asian.

Batik is both an art and a craft -The word 'batik' originates from the javanese 'tik' and means to dot. Batik is the art of decorating cloth, using wax and dye, and has been practised for centuries in Malaysia and other parts of South East Asia.

Songket is a traditional Malay fabric, hand woven on a Malay frame loom using gold and silver threads. Elaborate patterns are created by introducing extra gold or silver weft threads with the use of a flat needle. Songket is usually worn by both men and women during official functions and important ceremonies.
