Tucked away in the heart of Malacca’s heritage district, the Garden of Heeren is a quiet retreat that blends history, hospitality, and thoughtful design. Situated along the historically rich Heeren Street—once home to wealthy Peranakan merchants—the property stands as a tribute to Malacca’s layered past. The structure has been carefully preserved and reimagined, retaining its old-world charm while offering a contemporary experience for visitors seeking calm amidst the city’s bustling energy.
The design of the Garden of Heeren is the work of Woon San, a Penang-based designer known for his minimalist philosophy. His approach is evident throughout the space—clean lines, natural materials, and a restrained palette that allows the building’s original character to shine through. The interplay of heritage architecture with modern sensibilities creates an atmosphere that feels both grounded and quietly elegant. Every corner seems intentionally crafted to invite rest, reflection, and conversation.
From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the tranquil ambience and warm service. It’s the kind of place where time slows down—a cool, shaded haven perfect for escaping the afternoon heat. Whether you're here for a short coffee break or a long stay, Garden of Heeren offers a space to simply breathe, relax, and soak in the charm of historic Malacca. I highly recommend stopping by, not just to admire its design, but to experience the peace it so effortlessly provides.
