SIBU: A new business-class hotel will open on July 23 at Wong King Huo Road to cater to the vibrant development of Central Sarawak.

Situated next to Medan Commercial Centre, the new Medan Hotel with 136 rooms is now standing tall, providing comfort for the travellers with its concept of a home away from home.

The new property is owned and operated by the subsidiary company of Hock Peng Organisation – a diversified group involved in property development, construction, hotel and retail business.

"The eight-storey hotel with a cafe on the ground floor is surrounded by a shopping mall and over 135 units of shop houses and is just a five-minute ride from Sibu town," the organisation's deputy managing director Pemanca Dr Francis Toh said.

The organisation group also operates the Li Hua Hotel chain in Sibu, Bintulu and Mukah.

"The Medan Hotel chain operates in Betong, Sibu Bus Terminal, and now, at Wong King Huo Road," he added.

The new hotel was built in line with their vision in property development to meet the fast growing Central Sarawak, with Sibu as the gateway.

He said the third largest town in the state was the commercial, administrative, education and transportation hub of Central Sarawak.

"The central region encompasses basically the whole Rajang River stretching from Bakun to Tanjung Manis and the Igan River Basin. Both
are a vast area that caters to the needs of about half of the population of Sarawak," he pointed out.

Central Sarawak also covers more than half of the land mass of the state.

Based on the number of hotel rooms here, there is a demand for more rooms, and the opening of Medan Hotel and Medan Commercial Centre would indeed be welcome news.

The new business-class hotel was designed with facilities like a coffee house, a conference room for 150 people, two 17-person lifts, security card access system, closed circuit television system, Wi-Fi service, Astro television programmes, 32-inch LCD TV, hot and cold water system and Fire Brigade approved fire protection system.

"The best part of the design is the covered walkway linking the hotel with Medan Mall shopping complex and the surrounding commercial area that includes eateries and entertainment outlets," Toh further said.

The location was also picked because of its quiet spot in the midst of the bustling commercial centre.

"We want our guests to enjoy a feeling of home away from home and with a shopping paradise at the door step," he added.

On the top floor, the hotel has an open-air party space for 80 people – a spot that provides the best view of the town on Sibu's 'rooftop'.

Rooms are from RM98 nett onwards, inclusive of breakfast.
