Contemporary hotel with excellent facilities including rooftop pool, multiple dining venues, and prime waterfront location. Modern comfort with easy access to Kuching's attractions.
Pullman Kuching is a contemporary upscale hotel standing at 1B Jalan Mathies in the waterfront district of Kuching, the state capital of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. The hotel is positioned along the Kuching Waterfront Promenade, one of the city's most scenic public spaces, with direct views across the Sarawak River toward Fort Margherita and the Astana — the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak. The Kuching Old Town heritage district and the Sarawak Museum complex are within short walking distance.
As part of the Accor Hotels Pullman brand, the property delivers a polished, design-forward experience across its guest rooms, public spaces, and food and beverage outlets. Rooms and suites occupy the upper floors of the tower, with higher-floor rooms commanding expansive views over the Sarawak River and the surrounding cityscape. Interiors are fitted with clean contemporary furnishings, quality bedding, rainfall showers, and flat-screen televisions.
The Connect Bar & Lounge on the hotel's upper levels is among Kuching's most fashionable social venues, serving crafted cocktails alongside a curated wine list with river views as the backdrop. The Spice Garden restaurant offers a comprehensive menu spanning Sarawakian specialities — including the celebrated Sarawak laksa — alongside regional Borneo flavours and international dishes. A coffee lounge serves lighter fare and working lunches.
The rooftop pool offers a commanding vantage above the Sarawak River, and a fully equipped fitness centre is available around the clock. A spa provides traditional and contemporary massage treatments.
The concierge team is experienced in arranging Sarawak-specific experiences including river cruises to Bako National Park, cultural visits to Iban longhouses in the Saribas region, and tours of Semenggoh Wildlife Centre for close encounters with semi-wild orangutans. Multiple meeting and conference rooms make the property suitable for business events alongside leisure travel.
