“Surrounded by local attractions, government offices, shopping malls and a heritage centre, Mercure Miri City Center reflects the area’s vibrant culture with a collection of curated artworks that showcase the region’s abundant flora and fauna, as well as Sarawak’s 32 ethnic groups. These nature-inspired interiors, bright colours and authentic crafts accompany guests throughout their journey,” he said.
Simmons explained that the 172 stylishly appointed rooms come fully equipped with comfortable king or twin beds and everything travellers need to stay productive. We are excited to reveal the hotel’s locally inspired interior design and energetic aesthetics to everyone during our initial phase launch in March 2023. Walking through our doors, guests will discover the stories woven into every corner that speak volumes about Miri and its people.

Simmons cocluded that the Mercure brand is designed to tell the story of its destinations through inspiring design and thoughtful touches. Mercure Miri City Centre is a great example of this concept in action. We look forward to welcoming visitors to Miri and helping them to uncover the wonders of this part of Borneo, whether they are visiting for business or pleasure. [sources/photo special]
