Review: The Explorer Hotel, Melaka Malaysia

The rapid urban development in Malacca is wholly undeniable. The once quaint town we had admired had slowly picked up the fast pace of urbanized city like KL. Now, quite a number of hotels had sprouted, that means more choices for tourists.  The Explorer Hotel is one of the many family-friendly accommodations dotted the historical sites of Melaka. This hotel is known for it’s ECO-friendly concept which adapts conserving water and energy on its premise. 



We walked at the reception on jovial mood despite of late arrival for check in. The staff reciprocated with beaming smile, warm welcome and handed over our  room access cards in no time.




The festive decorations such as blooming spring flowers, big sphere lanterns and ang pows prevail the lobby area. It adds a merry atmosphere in anticipation of the Lunar New Year. One of the biggest celebrations in Malaysia.
 

The refreshing welcome drink was all we need to dissipate the heat after walking on a humid weather. Shyly we downed at least two glasses.



The Explorer Hotel Melaka has 143 rooms touched with modern minimalist design. Green and brown for earth then White symbolizes air and water. Were the colors dominated this ECO friendly accommodation.
