Exterior-night-300x199Premier Luxury Hotel Offers Sarawak's Biggest Banquet Hall

The five-star Pullman Hotel in Kuching, Sarawak, opened only three years ago but is already ranked the city's market-leading hotel property. "Our ballroom, which can seat up to 2,500 people, is the biggest facility of its kind in Sarawak and is one of our important assets as far as attracting business and conference clienteles", explains General Manager Eric Tan. He adds that around 70% of the hotel's visitors are business travelers, but that the Pullman Kuching expects the percentage of leisure travelers to grow rapidly as tourism to Sarawak increases.

Combining the exemplary standards of the Pullman, Accor group along with the best of Kuching's local flavor, the Pullman Kuching is ideally located at the top of a hill in the heart of the city and offers panoramic views of the city center and the Sarawak River. The hotel is linked to the trendy Hills Shopping Mall and within walking distance to many commercial venues and other attractions. The Pullman Kuching has 389 extra-spacious rooms and suites in a wide range of categories, all equipped with cutting-edge technologies and luxurious amenities.

Exceptional five-star amenities

The hotel's 'check in, chill out' motto emphasizes the Pullman Kuching's effort to make every guest feel comfortable and at home. Five-star facilities include high-speed Internet access, several fashionable restaurants and bars, a fitness center, a business center, a spa with seven treatment rooms, an outdoor pool with sundeck and a poolside bar, and much more.

The Pullman Kuching partners with the government and local leaders to drive Sarawak's economy forward. Mr. Tan says, "Increasing international awareness of Sarawak's investment and tourism appeal is really important to us, and the Chinese market is certainly worthy of getting more attention. We are working together with other organizations to ensure sustained economic development here in Sarawak."

SIBU: A total of 213 budget hotels in Sarawak are operating without a licence, prompting a three-day workshop being held here to find ways to expedite the issuance of licence.

Principal assistant secretary to the Ministry of Local Government and Community Development, Shariman Faizul Abdullah, said several heads of government agencies had been putting their heads together since Tuesday to come up with procedures to simplify the issuance process.

Representatives from Ministry of Local Government and Community Development, Ministry of Resource Planning and Environment, Ministry of Tourism, Fire and Rescue Department, State Planning Authority (SPA), Land and Survey Department and local councils are participating in the workshop which ends today.

"We are trying to get the 213 operators to have their licence. Most of them do not bother to apply for the licence as they do not fulfill SPA's requirement.

"Here, we try to find ways to enable the operators to obtain licence by conforming to the minimal SPA requirement. We also need to look at the requirement of the Fire and Rescue Dept and the local councils.

"Once we have come up with the necessary requirement, we will inform these operators through local councils so that they can apply for the licence.

"However, what have been proposed or contributions made in this workshop are not final. We need to submit the proposal to the state government for approval," Shariman said at the workshop yesterday, adding that the proposal would not involve new applicants.

State director of Fire and Rescue Dept Nor Hisham Mohammad who was among those attending the workshop talked on occupational permit and approval.

Sarawak Central Region Hotel Association chairman Johnny Wong Sie Lee was also present.
