A hotel shaped
by the soul
of Sarawak.
A warm, culturally rooted hotel in the centre of Kuching — your basecamp for Sarawak's rainforests, rivers, and living heritage. Walk to the waterfront. Sleep exceptionally well. Arrive as a visitor. Leave as someone who has begun to understand this remarkable corner of the world.
30 Jalan Tabuan, Kuching
A hotel with a
sense of place.
"There is a particular quality of welcome here that belongs entirely to Sarawak — and to nowhere else on earth."
The Borneo Hotel sits in the living heart of Kuching — the city Sarawakians are fiercely proud to call home. From our doors, the Waterfront is a pleasant walk, the old town is around the corner, and the first bus to Bako National Park departs nearby.
What you'll find inside is a team who genuinely love this city, a café hung with local artists' paintings, a lounge that fills with live music on weekends, and rooms designed for real rest after a day of real adventure.
Rest deeply.
Explore boldly.
Deluxe Queen Room
The ideal room for couples or solo travellers wanting space and comfort. Queen bed, rain shower, Smart TV with Netflix.
Deluxe Triple Room
A queen bed plus single bed for families or three friends exploring Sarawak together. Work desk and full amenities.
Rainforest Sanctuary Room
Our most serene room — an interior retreat engineered for deep sleep. No street noise, cool air, complete blackout. The choice of guests who need to be up at 5am for Bako.
Cozy Corner
Cafe
Begin every morning with Sarawak Laksa — the breakfast Kuching is famous for. Our cafe serves authentic local favourites alongside international dishes, surrounded by original paintings from Sarawakian artists that rotate every quarter.
Come for breakfast. Stay for the coffee. Return for lunch, because the Kolo Mee will keep calling you back.
The Borneo
Lounge
Botanical-inspired, dimly lit, and deliberately unhurried — the Borneo Lounge is where evenings slow down beautifully. Every cocktail is crafted with care, and every Friday and Saturday night fills with live acoustic music from local artists.
It is the best bar night in this part of Kuching. We say that humbly, but our regulars say it more loudly.
Perfectly placed
for everything.
30 Jalan Tabuan puts you within easy reach of everything Kuching offers — and well positioned to launch into Sarawak's natural wonders. Our front desk team will help you plan every day.
The adventures
that begin here.
Semenggoh Wildlife Centre
Watch semi-wild orangutans at the morning feeding session. One of the most moving wildlife encounters in Southeast Asia.
Bako National Park
Borneo's oldest national park — proboscis monkeys, pitcher plants, and sea caves. We store your luggage while you stay overnight.
Sarawak Museum
One of the finest ethnographic museums in Asia. Indigenous artefacts, colonial history, and natural history under one remarkable roof.
Batang Ai Longhouse
A multi-day river journey into the interior to visit Iban longhouse communities. Our team helps arrange everything.
Honest words from
people who stayed.
"5–10 minutes walk to the waterfront and all the old town charm. The staff know this city and want you to love it as much as they do."
"Clean, modern and well located. Exceeded expectations. The breakfast was a highlight — Sarawak Laksa in the morning sets you up perfectly."
"We stayed 5 nights and they stored our luggage for free while we did Batang Ai and Bako National Park. That service alone is worth coming back for."
"Everyone from Bong Ah, Misman, and Aziz at the door to Layla and Nur at the desk — a wonderful group of people who make you feel genuinely welcomed."
"The breakfast is different every day and genuinely delicious. Great mix of Asian dishes to try. Staff were incredibly friendly — this is a great base for exploring Sarawak."
