Melaka City
With a fabulous location right on the river and steps from Chinatown, Casa Del Rio has palatial architecture that blends Portuguese/Mediterranean with Malaysian for a result that's airy and grand. Rooms are massive, with bathrooms fit for a Portuguese princess, and river-view rooms capture the feel of Asia and Venice combined.
There's a rooftop infinity pool that overlooks the river and common areas are strewn with couches and tons of cushions.
