Overview of Hatten Hotel Melaka
With 704 rooms spread across 22 floors, Hatten Hotel Melaka is a large-scale property in Melaka's city centre, and Traveloka's listing records it as a 5-star hotel built in 2012. It sits within Hatten Square on Jalan Merdeka in Bandar Hilir, the part of Melaka City Center close to the city's historic core. The hotel's own website describes it as surrounded by Melaka's iconic historical landmarks and UNESCO World Heritage sites, which is the main reason many travellers from Singapore choose it as a base for a short heritage break across the border.
What sets this property apart from many city hotels is its room format. Rather than a ladder of standard and superior rooms, the official room line-up starts at the Studio Suite and rises through Junior, Deluxe, Hatten and Hatten Premier Suites, with every category featuring some kind of living area. The hotel also offers a dedicated Elite E-Sports Rooms option with gaming PCs, an unusual inclusion for a heritage-city hotel.
The leisure floor is another defining feature. According to the official site, Level 12 brings together the Premier Lounge, The Infinity Pool, the Gym on 12 and H Spa, so guests can move between a swim, a workout and a massage without leaving one floor. Higher up, the Alto Sky Lounge is described by the hotel as a rooftop venue with panoramic views over the Melaka skyline.
Traveloka's facility data shows two restaurants and two bars on site, a ballroom and banquet facilities, a business centre, meeting rooms and wedding services. That mix makes Hatten Hotel Melaka a practical choice for very different trips: a couple's weekend, a family holiday, a company event or a longer stay that needs space to spread out.
Room and Suite Types at Hatten Hotel Melaka
The hotel's official website lists six accommodation categories. All of the core suites include a small living area or a separate living space, a mini bar, an in-room safe, coffee and tea facilities and complimentary internet, according to the hotel. Room names and exact availability on Traveloka can differ from the official list, so always check the room options shown on the booking page for your dates.
Studio Suite
The Studio Suite is the entry-level category on the official site. It measures around 30 square metres and is set up with two super single beds, a small living area with a sofa and two televisions. It sleeps two guests, with an extra bed available on request. The bathroom has rain and hand showers. This is a sensible pick for two friends or colleagues who want separate beds.
Junior Suite
At about 33 square metres, the Junior Suite adds a little more floor space and, according to the hotel, comes with either pool or city views. Like the Studio Suite, it has a sofa, two televisions, rain and hand showers and space for two guests plus an extra bed on request.
Deluxe Suite
The Deluxe Suite is around 37 square metres and is listed with city or straits views, so some rooms look out towards the Strait of Malacca. It keeps the same in-room set-up as the smaller suites and also takes two guests plus an extra bed on request, making it a good upgrade for couples who want more room.
Hatten Suite
The Hatten Suite is a big step up at about 74 square metres, with one king-size bedroom and a separate living and dining area with a large sofa and dining table. The official site mentions a marble bathroom with a bathtub, two televisions and exclusive access to the Premier Lounge on Level 12. City or straits views are listed for this category.
Hatten Premier Suite
The top category, the Hatten Premier Suite, covers about 98 square metres and has a two-bedroom layout with one king-size bed and two single beds. It can sleep four guests, with an extra bed on request, and includes a large living area, a dining table, a marble bathroom with bathtub and three televisions. For families or small groups, this is the suite that keeps everyone under one roof.
Elite E-Sports Rooms
The Elite E-Sports Rooms are a set of connecting rooms of about 66 square metres with bunk-bed style sleeping for up to five people. The hotel lists five gaming PCs with 27-inch OLED monitors, gaming chairs, bean bags, an LED TV with sound bar and high-speed internet. It is aimed at groups of friends or gaming teams travelling together.
Traveloka's listing also shows connecting rooms, family rooms and non-smoking rooms, and lists in-room features such as cable TV, a desk, a hairdryer, an in-room safe, a refrigerator and a shower. Exact features vary by room, so check each room's details before booking.

Location and Getting There
Hatten Hotel Melaka's address is Hatten Square, Jalan Merdeka, Bandar Hilir, 75000 Melaka. Bandar Hilir is part of Melaka City Center, and the hotel's official site says it is surrounded by the city's historical landmarks and UNESCO World Heritage sites. That makes the hotel a convenient base for exploring the historic old town, its museums and the riverside during a short stay.
The hotel is also well placed for shopping. Traveloka's listing describes the location as well suited to anyone who enjoys shopping centres, and notes supermarkets, banks and shops in the surrounding area.
From Singapore, most travellers reach Melaka by road, either driving across the border or taking a coach to the city and then a short taxi or e-hailing ride to Bandar Hilir. If you are coming from further away, you can compare flights to Malaysia on Traveloka and continue to Melaka by road. Traveloka's listing does not show an airport transfer service for this hotel, so plan your own transport from the airport or coach terminal.
Drivers should note that the hotel uses a car park validation system: according to the hotel's policy on Traveloka, room guests validate their parking card at the Concierge or Front Desk before leaving to receive the room-guest parking rate. Valet parking is also listed, with a surcharge.
Dining at Hatten Hotel Melaka
Traveloka's listing records two restaurants and two bars at Hatten Hotel Melaka, and the official website names the two main outlets.
- Chatterz All Day Dining: the hotel's all-day restaurant, serving breakfast and an à la carte menu, with a mix of local Malaysian favourites and international dishes, plus buffet options, according to the hotel.
- Alto Sky Lounge: a rooftop venue pairing contemporary western fusion dishes with handcrafted drinks and panoramic views of the Melaka skyline. The hotel lists it as an evening venue and notes it is closed on some days of the week, so check its current opening days before planning a visit.
- Poolside bar and café: Traveloka's facility data also lists a poolside bar, a café and a coffee shop.
Traveloka's data shows buffet breakfast, buffet lunch and buffet dinner, as well as à la carte lunch and dinner and room service with limited hours. Whether breakfast is included depends on the rate you choose, so check the room offer before you book.
Melaka is well known for its food, and a city-centre base makes it easy to head out and sample local dishes beyond the hotel. To fill the rest of your itinerary, you can browse things to do and attractions in Melaka on Traveloka.
Why Stay at Hatten Hotel Melaka
The strongest argument for Hatten Hotel Melaka is space. Every category on the official room list is a suite of some kind, starting at about 30 square metres, so even the entry-level option has a sitting area. That suits families and groups who want a bit of room to relax after a day in the heat.
The second reason is convenience. With the infinity pool, gym, spa and Premier Lounge all on Level 12 and a rooftop lounge above, guests do not have to leave the building to unwind. The hotel's Bandar Hilir address also keeps the heritage core and the main shopping area close by.
Third, the hotel is set up for more than holidays. A ballroom, banquet space, business centre, meeting rooms and wedding services make it a practical option for corporate gatherings and celebrations, while the E-Sports Rooms give groups of younger travellers something different.
Finally, the property's size works in its favour. A 704-room, 22-floor hotel can usually offer a wide choice of room types and views across different dates. If you still want to weigh up alternatives, you can compare other hotels in Melaka on Traveloka before deciding.
Tips for Booking Hatten Hotel Melaka on Traveloka
- Choose your suite by group size. Studio, Junior and Deluxe Suites take two guests plus an extra bed on request, while the Hatten Premier Suite sleeps four and the E-Sports Rooms take up to five.
- Ask about views. Junior Suites are listed with pool or city views, and Deluxe and Hatten Suites with city or straits views. Add a request when booking if a particular outlook matters to you.
- Plan your arrival time. Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Luggage storage is listed if you arrive early or leave late.

- Payment at the hotel is digital. The hotel's policy says payments are made electronically, including cards, transfers and e-wallets, so have a card or mobile payment option ready at check-in.
- Validate your parking card. If you drive from Singapore, remember to validate your car park card at the Concierge or Front Desk before you exit.
- Check what your rate includes. Breakfast, Premier Lounge access and cancellation terms vary by room and rate, so read the room offer carefully.
