Hilton Kuching has redefined riverside hospitality with a stunning transformation that now makes it one of Malaysia’s most compelling destinations for families and discerning travellers alike. Following an extensive, design-led renovation, the landmark hotel has unveiled a series of exciting additions, headlined by the country’s very first Hilton Kids Club and the highly anticipated RYE Speakeasy, which opens later this year.
For families, the Hilton Kids Club is a revelation. Located at the heart of the property, this dedicated, supervised space is designed to engage children of all ages with creativity and play. A vibrant indoor play zone, climbing structures, and interactive game stations spark boundless energy, while a cosy reading corner and hands-on craft sessions nurture curiosity and cultural discovery. Every activity is thoughtfully curated to inspire exploration and connect children to Sarawak’s rich heritage, allowing parents to relax knowing their little ones are in capable, caring hands.
Meanwhile, adults will soon have their own playground in the form of RYE, Hilton’s signature whiskey-forward speakeasy concept, making its debut in Kuching. Inspired by the golden era of mid-century hospitality, RYE promises a refined yet inviting space where evenings begin with a clink of crystal and a swirl of amber. The bar will offer a meticulously curated selection of single malts, bourbons, and blended whiskeys, alongside crafted cocktails that marry refined global mixology with local Malaysian ingredients. Complementing the drinks is a menu of elevated small plates, ideal for sharing and perfect for late-night conversations.
The synergy of these two offerings—family-friendly fun by day and elegant revelry by night—emphasises Hilton Kuching’s mission to create a destination where every guest finds their own rhythm. Parents can also spend the afternoon lounging by the newly refreshed pool deck or savouring riverfront cocktails at The Terrace, while children make new playdates and memories at the Kids Club. When evening falls, the city skyline and river views set the stage for an intimate night out at RYE, just steps away from the guestrooms.
With this renovation, Hilton Kuching has successfully bridged generations, offering an experience that feels both luxurious and inclusive. It is no longer just a place to stay; it is where the spirit of Kuching comes alive for the whole family.
“This transformation is more than a renovation; it is a reimagination of Hilton Kuching’s place in the city,” said Adrian Teh, general manager of Hilton Kuching, in a statement. “Every refreshed space, from our guestrooms and dining venues to our meeting facilities and leisure areas, has been designed with intention, drawing inspiration from Kuching’s heritage while embracing the needs of today’s traveller. With our prime waterfront location, elevated service, and strong connection to the local community, we are proud to deliver an experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new, consistently exceeding guest expectations while reflecting the spirit of modern Kuching hospitality.”
