Boasting lovely views, the 315-room Hilton Kuching is an upper-middle-range hotel set along Sarawak River, right in the heart of the city. Rooms are largely contemporary and well-maintained, featuring carpeted floors, subdued decor, and quality amenities such as kettles, flat-screen TVs, and desks. However, some areas of the property are a bit dated and showing wear. On-site features consist of a mediocre outdoor pool, five dining options and a bar -- dinner at the Chinese restaurant and breakfast at the Waterfront Cafe are highlights -- modern fitness center, and 10 function venues. Additionally, an Executive Lounge offers perks such as free breakfast and refreshments. Note that Wi-Fi requires a fee expect for Hilton Honors members. Travelers who don't care about a pool may prefer the more stylish The Ranee Boutique Suites.

Attracting nature lovers, the lower-middle-range Permai Rainforest Resort offers 32 rustic, technology-free units amid a stunning jungle. Set a 30-minute drive from Kuching, the hotel has a lush setting that offers a pretty private beach, abundant wildlife, a freshwater pool, and ropes courses that are popular for team-building retreats. The hand-crafted tree houses and cabin rooms are spartan, equipped with fridges, kettles, and showers, but no hairdryers, TVs, or Wi-Fi. Although food doesn't receive rave reviews, breakfast and dinner are included in the rate, and a cafe serves fare for lunch. This isn't your conventional resort, but it's a good pick for outdoor enthusiasts who don't mind abundant bugs and steps, and occasional maintenance issues. The nearby Damai Beach Resort has more traditional setups, but it loses the rainforest charm.

The LimeTree Hotel is a three-pearl property offering reliable comfort, an up-to-date look, and good positioning near Kuching's buzzing center. Minimalist interiors are modern, and continue in the 42 comfortable rooms and suites. In-room desks, kettles, AC, and rainfall showers are upsides, but traffic noise, weak Wi-Fi, and entry-level units lacking natural daylight are problematic. Alongside decor, an all-day cafe with free breakfasts, rooftop bar, and meeting rooms center around the property's lime theme, so expect plenty of citrus elements. There are no wellness amenities offered. The Hilton Kuching is fancier and directly on the waterfront, but it's also pricier.
