KUCHING, 18 June 2026 - If you've been watching that familiar building taking on a beautiful new façade near Kuching International Airport all this while and wondering when it was finally going to open its doors, well the wait is over. voco® Kuching officially soft opens TODAY, and yes, you can book a room and check in right now!

BorneoTalk had the privilege of visiting the property earlier today, and honestly? We were taken aback by its luxurious simplicity. voco^® Kuching feels upscale without feeling cluttered. It's the kind of place that makes you go “wow” the moment you walk in.

The name voco comes from Latin, meaning “to invite”. That spirit is reflected in the hotel’s warm, welcoming lobby and friendly staff. The whole concept is built around being “unstuffy”. It’s luxurious, yes, but not at all stiff or stuffy.

voco^® uses three distinct birds to represent the hallmarks of your stay:

🐦 The Finch: Represents "Come on in"

🦉 The Owl: Represents "Me time"

🦩 The Flamingo: Represents "voco life"

The hotel boasts 12 floors, with over 320 rooms and suites, voco^® Kuching is a substantial addition to the city’s hospitality scene, and it doesn’t waste a square inch. The rooms range from well-appointed Standard Rooms to a range of Suites. Every room is designed with that signature voco^® spaciousness, no clutter, no unnecessary fuss, just clean lines, premium bedding, and room to breathe.

Standard rooms come with 65” smart TVs featuring Chromecast and a host of other connectivity features so you can stream, mirror, and kick back exactly the way you like.

Whether you go for a Standard Room, a Standard Room with balcony, one of the gorgeous Suites, or the jaw-dropping Penthouse Suite complete with a private jacuzzi, every space is designed for comfort without the clutter.

All rooms come loaded with the good stuff:

Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
Smart TV with Chromecast (65" as standard!)
In-room safe
Indulgent voco^® bedding
Filtered drinking water
Sustainable, refillable bathroom amenities
Tea and coffee-making facilities

To eat, there’s LUMA Restaurant where global flavours meet a local Sarawak twist, with live interactive kitchens (claypot, wok, noodles, pastries). AMPM keeps things easy from morning to night, with coffee and pastries to kick off your day, easy bites through the afternoon, and handcrafted cocktails as the sun goes down.

There’s also the exclusive Speakeasy private guest lounge for those who enjoy a quieter corner.
