The coast of Malacca welcomes a new addition to its hotel lineup with the opening of the new Birkin International Hotel, a 5-star accommodation option that brings a new level of sustainable luxury to your next stay.
The new 526-room hotel offers something for everyone, starting with its scenic coastal location set along the pristine Klebang coastline. Think powdery white sands, crystal-clear waters, and a tranquil environment that offers a private beachfront getaway, thanks to it being set apart from the crowded tourist hubs. But of course, Malacca’s intangible cultural heritage hotspots are never too far away, encompassing sites like The Stadthuys and A Famosa, as well as family friendly destinations like the Malacca Zoo.
Birkin International Hotel is built and run with sustainability at its core, starting with its building-wide policy like the smart HVAC and air-purification systems, rainwater harvesting, and reverse osmosis. On the guest-facing front, EV charging stations are readily available, check-in is a breeze with self-check-in kiosks, while the zero single-use plastics policy and in-house composting programme adds more to the hotel’s eco-conscious efforts.
All-suite accommodations
For accommodation, Birkin International Hotel is an all-suite property, and its 526 suites span across all travelling needs from the basic-yet-spacious Deluxe Suite all the way to the 2-bedroom Family Premier Suite. The suite configuration also means that every room is equipped with a balcony, allowing you to enjoy the Klebang Beach view to the fullest.
But the highlight is, of course, the most exclusive Presidential Suite which lets you enjoy your stay in unparalleled luxury. The suite features separate bedrooms – including a master bedroom – living room, dining area, a study or office space, ensuite bathroom, and the aforementioned balcony, which is perfect for those of us who require exclusivity and privacy wherever we’re travelling.
Creative culinary choices
On the culinary side, Birkin International Hotel offers three restaurants, two bars, and two lounges – each with its own speciality. All guests will be acquainted with Birkin Kitchen, the all-day dining spot that offers a global gastronomic adventure, by way of Malaysian specialties and classic French patisseries. For a refined dining experience or your next date night, Nalu Fine Dining brings the theatre of gastronomy to you with seats at the Chef’s Table and a show kitchen to boot. Sunset Grill rounds off the restaurant offerings, with its fresh ingredients and expertly grilled specialties served against the backdrop of a Malacca Strait sunset.
If you’re in the mood for a tipple, Blu Bar is a refined retreat for sips of handcrafted cocktails and premium spirits. For something more casual in an open-air setting, head outside to the Mirage Garden Bar for signature cocktails and light bites – the perfect way to spend a breezy coastal evening.
Finally, the lobby lounge offers a welcome spot to relax, whether you’re waiting for check-in or you’ve just come back from a day at the beach. Guests on the Executive Floor have exclusive access to the Executive Lounge for all-day refreshments and personalised check-in too.
Family-friendly facilities, and a wealth of wellness
Travellers with family and young kids will also have a blast with Birkin International Hotel’s luxurious family facilities including the Birkin Kids Club where young guests can hang out and play; the Kid’s Car Track for the more speed-inclined child; and the outdoor Kids Playground where swinging, climbing, and sliding freely is allowed.
On the wellness side, the in-house gymnasium – an RM1.8 million investment in wellness for the hotel – offers a state-of-the-art fitness experience that’s a must-use for the health-conscious traveller. The Tranquility Spa & Wellness is a sanctuary for restoration and rejuvenation that puts natural, premium products in the hand of skilled therapists.
Birkin International Hotel marks the latest in Malacca’s offerings, bridging luxury hospitality and the rich heritage of the state into one unforgettable experience with every stay.
