Interesting Hotel - Puri Hotel

Puri Hotel, its an interesting hotel. It was the ancestral home of the descendants of Tan Kim Seng (1805-1864). He was a third generation Straits Chinese born in Malacca. He has some contribution to Singapore too. I strongly recommend to people who dun mind staying in 3 star hotel. I took some pictures.

We stayed in this 'hotel' too. The bad thing is that they do not have a pool. But they are very popular among european and american.

The house opposite is actually called the Chee family house or mansion :) It has Dutch inspired architecture and was formerly a landmark in Malacca when that building was one of the higher ones in ancient days..
