Hotel Puri

Hotel Puri

Ever since the designation of Melaka at a UNESCO World Heritage site, the place has undergone a tremendous amount of facelifting. Old shophouses have been repainted and much of the buildings have bene renovated to house either a shop, a restaurant and naturally, a hotel. There are numerous examples of these shop houses turned hotels. Probably one of the more prominent ones is the Hotel Puri which is along the quieter side of Chinatown.

Detail of the Hotel Puri Facade

Unlike the other structures in the area, Hotel Puri has three levels, it has retained the original design but it is now painted in a pleasant beige-baby blue combo. It would seem that the Hotel Puri is quite popular with tourists, particularly the ones from Singapore. I, for one, don’t have the budget to stay in such places, since it looks like it would be beyond mine. In fact, during my visit, there was a large bus parked outside the hotel unloading passenger/guests. If there would even come a time when I can afford to stay in a place like that, I will surely post it here. In the meantime, I would settle for some more affordable accomodations.
