MELAKA: Five well-known hotels in the historic city of Melaka are expected to shut down for good in May.

These hotels, some of which stretch back to the 1970s and 80s, have been badly hit by the drop in occupancy rates and revenue since the start of the year, said Malaysian Association of Hotels' (MAH) Melaka chapter secretary Jason Bak.
