The Golden Legacy boasts stunning golden brown facades that serve as an apt visual introduction to its status and standards. One of only 3 five-star hotels in Malacca, it is also the furthest from Bandar Hilir or downtown (though no more than 10 minutes by car). The hotel is rather new and is popular among Japanese package tourists. The central lobby and rooms are elegantly furnished with touches of Straits-era furnishings. Major shopping and dining establishments surround the hotel, including the famous Fajar Shopping Complex.

Here lies the best of Malacca's five-star marques with almost everything going for it. A stone's throw away from A' Famosa Fort and St Paul's Hill, and with the largest shopping mall (Mahkota Parade) as well the numerous conveniences of Taman Melaka Raya at its doorsteps, its locale is unbeatable. All amenities at the hotel are as good as new. Room design is well thought out with tasteful furnishings and most units are endowed with great views of the historic town.
