If you are visiting Kuching for just a few days, you might wonder how to make the most of your time without spending hours on the road. Because The Hotel is centrally located right in the heart of the city, getting around is incredibly fast and affordable.
Here are three simple, must-visit spots that are only a 10 to 15-minute drive from our doorstep:
- The Kuching Waterfront & Darul Hana Bridge
Take a relaxing late afternoon stroll along the scenic Sarawak River. You can cross the beautiful, curved Darul Hana pedestrian bridge for a stunning view of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly building. Don’t forget to catch a sunset boat cruise or try some local Kek Lapis (Sarawak Layer Cake) along the way! - Carpenter Street & Main Bazaar
Perfect for history lovers and souvenir shoppers. These old, charming streets are lined with traditional shophouses selling unique local handicrafts, pepper products, and antique items. It’s a great place to soak in Kuching’s rich heritage. - Choon Hui Cafe or Local Markets
Dive into the local culture by visiting a bustling morning market or an iconic local kopitiam. It’s the best way to see the friendly, laid-back lifestyle that Kuching is famous for.
After a rewarding day of exploring, you can easily hop into a Grab car and be back in the quiet comfort of your room at The Hotel in no time.
