The Everly Group marks an exciting new chapter with the opening of The Everly Lhesson Kuching, a hotel that brings together Sarawak’s warmth, meaningful family heritage and the group’s long-standing philosophy of genuine hospitality.
For The Everly Group, returning to Kuching carries special significance. The company’s journey in Sarawak stretches back to 1990, making the opening of The Everly Lhesson Kuching a meaningful return to familiar ground. While the group has grown stronger and more experienced over the years, its focus remains unchanged: creating welcoming experiences built around people, connection and its enduring promise of “Friends Forever.”
The Meaning Behind Lhesson
The name Lhesson is inspired by the Chinese words “六和顺” (liù hé shùn), which represent harmony in all directions.
It reflects a simple idea at the heart of hospitality: bringing people together. Whether guests are visiting for a holiday, business trip, wedding, family celebration or simply a good meal, the hope is that everyone who walks through the hotel’s doors feels welcomed and leaves with memorable moments worth taking home.
A Taste of Heritage at Eastern City Restaurant
Located on the fifth floor of the hotel, Eastern City Restaurant serves a selection of local and Western favourites throughout the day.
Its story began in 1979 in Bintangor, Sarawak, when Mr Ting Kie Tiong and two partners established Eastern City as a traditional kopitiam. Over time, it became a familiar gathering place for local residents, visitors, families and friends.
Today, that legacy continues at The Everly Lhesson Kuching, where Mr Ting’s sons have brought Eastern City back to life while preserving the familiar flavours and comforting spirit of Bintangor. Newsletter
One of the restaurant’s most meaningful dishes is Bintangor Rojak, which carries fond childhood memories for the Ting brothers. Guests can also enjoy dishes such as Sarawak Laksa, Beef Rendang, Bintangor Kampua and Nasi Goreng Bunga Kantan.
More than just a meal, the dining experience gives guests a glimpse into the Ting family’s history and the flavours they grew up with.
Celebrating a Beautiful Beginning
The hotel recently marked another memorable milestone with its first wedding reception on 29 August 2026.
The ballroom welcomed 270 guests for a celebration filled with family, friends and meaningful moments. The occasion represented an important beginning for The Everly Lhesson Kuching as it looks forward to hosting many more weddings and becoming part of couples’ most cherished celebrations.
Discover the Executive Loft Room
Guests looking for something different can experience the hotel’s new Executive Loft Room.
Designed with a high ceiling and a distinctive double-deck bunk-bed concept, the room features two sleeping levels connected by a dedicated staircase. The layout makes thoughtful use of vertical space while creating a contemporary and comfortable environment.
Ideal for families, groups of friends and guests travelling together, Executive Loft Room guests also enjoy access to the Executive Lounge for an added level of comfort and exclusivity.
An Exciting October for The Everly Lhesson Kuching
October brings several important moments for the hotel.
On 1 October, The Everly Lhesson Kuching hosted a get-together dinner with the Kuching Division Journalist Association.
This was followed by one of the hotel’s biggest milestones: the Official Grand Opening on 6 October 2026, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the property.
A Warm Welcome in the Heart of Kuching
Strategically located above Vivacity Megamall, The Everly Lhesson Kuching offers convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment and nearby business districts.
The hotel features 238 rooms and suites, combining contemporary design with thoughtful amenities for both business and leisure travellers. Additional facilities are also opening in phases, including banquet halls, rooftop event spaces, dining venues and a rooftop pool overlooking the city.
Whether guests are visiting for work, events or a city getaway, The Everly Lhesson Kuching aims to deliver a comfortable, convenient and memorable experience rooted in the warmth of Sarawak hospitality.
More Than a Stay
The Everly Lhesson Kuching is more than a new hotel opening. It represents a return to familiar ground, a continuation of family heritage and a commitment to creating meaningful connections through hospitality.
Different places may bring different journeys, but the spirit remains the same: to ensure every guest feels not simply welcomed, but among friends.
