Melaka City
You may need to shield your eyes against this blinding-white behemoth of a hotel. Though billed as colonial-style, with rooms named after British icons like Winston Churchill and Brighton Beach, the spacious rooms are more business-Ikea-chic than awash in history. The bathrooms gleam and there are great views from the rooftop restaurant.
Room rates vary according to how far ahead you book and how urgently you require an in-room spa bath.
