KEE ANN TOURIST HUB

 KEE ANN ROAD BECOMING A TOURIST HUB

Kee Ann Road used to be very busy from 1930s until 1980s because the Central market is located here during this period. 

After the market was shifted out in 1990s, Kee Ann Road is now becoming a tourist hub for visitors to stay for a night or two from outstation.

A few medium priced hotels are located on Kee Ann road like Prima Hotel. 


Other medium priced hotels nearby are Kingston Hotel, Tun Fatimah Riverside Hotel, Hotel 1825 and Hallmark Hotel Express ( former Regal Hotel in 1970s ).

Nearby, we have the international class hotel namely Dusit Princess ( formerly Ramada Hotel ).

                        Dusit Princess Melaka

On weekends, outstation tourist buses can be seen parked outside these hotels.

For food, there are a few kopitiams nearby at Jalan Bunga Raya, Jalan Munshi Abdullah and Jalan Bendahara like JJ Chicken Rice Balls cafe, Nyonya Secrets, popular Lorong Siham, Pork Rice, Bunga Raya Popiah,  Meow Mee Korean cafe, Abstract Japanese cafe and many more.

To visit the world renown Jonker Walk and other historicaland cultural sites, visitors can just walk over the bridge over the Melaka River at Jalan Pasar or Jalan Kampung Jawa.

Health enthusiasts and joggers can always walk or jog along the pathway besides the Melaka River early in the morning or late evenings when it is cooler.

Also, we recommend to take our Melaka River Cruise at night to view the colourful river lights or walk down the river romantically with your love ones.

KEE ANN ROAD OF MELAKA

 **Kee Ann Road in Malacca: A Blend of Heritage and Modernity**  ( Written by Deepseek )

Kee Ann Road, located in the heart of Malacca City, is a charming street that reflects the rich cultural tapestry of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Lined with a mix of traditional shophouses and modern establishments, the road offers a glimpse into Malacca’s vibrant past while catering to contemporary lifestyles.  

These shophouses, some dating back to the early 20th century, now house a variety of businesses, including cafes, boutique hotels, and souvenir shops, blending history with modern commerce.  

Food lovers will appreciate Kee Ann Road for its local eateries serving Nyonya cuisine, a delicious fusion of Chinese and Malay flavors. 

Nearby attractions, such as Jonker Street and the Malacca River, are just a short walk away, making it a convenient spot for tourists exploring the city’s heritage.  

Whether you're admiring the historical architecture, savoring Malaccan delicacies, or simply soaking in the laid-back atmosphere, Kee Ann Road offers a delightful experience that captures the essence of old-world Malacca.
