Pullman Kuching

Kuching


The 23-storey Pullman stands on a hill, towering over its neighbours. The vast white lobby is so grandiose that the rooms – in subdued tones of aquamarine, brown, white and green – feel small by comparison. The focus is on business travellers. Online rates are often cheaper than those shown here.
