Set atop Plaza Merdeka Shopping Centre, The Waterfront Hotel Kuching offers modern guest rooms with free WiFi access. The property boasts a semi-outdoor infinity pool and 2 dining options. For guests who drive, free parking is provided. An excellent hotel. Lovely and quiet and nicely presented. The room was big enough for the 4 of us. Breakfast had a good selection even for a vegan. Pool was covered in the bar area so perfect whatever the weather (bit of a shock when you first get in). lovely views from the pool/bar and you can see the fountain show from there. Great location. The staff were excellent. The lady poolside attendant was really lovely and friendly and we loved our little chats with her.

Furnished with contemporary decor, the air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV and luxury amenities. Some rooms offer club lounge access. The en suite bathroom is fitted with a rain shower and a hairdryer. Guest may enjoy scenic view from the rooms. We were early and our room wasn’t ready yet so they my stored our luggage until check-in later. Rate this Hyatt a 10++! The hotel kindly provided balloons and a slice of tiramisu cake with a candle to surprise my daughter on her birthday. What a treat! Excellent AC and hat water. We had a huge room with slippers and a huge luxurious bathrobe to enjoy the celebration. We did not eat in the hotel since there were so many restaurants and the Central Market was within walking distance. Of course we took a selfie with the iconic “I ❤️KK” sign outside by the broad walk. Definitely had a feeling of being pampers in a spacious luxury hotel at a very reasonable rate of $75 per night for two in twin room. it was a pleasant 10-15 minute stroll to Jesselton Pier for our excursion.
