Meritz Hotel is situated adjacent to Bintang Megamall, the best shopping mall in Miri. It comprises of 290 guest rooms and suites. On every three levels, there is an atrium. Complimentary wifi services are available here, so guests can actually hang out or gather here instead of being cooped up in the room all the time.
We were greeted cordially on arrival by the staff who stood in a line. After a round of hand-shaking, we took the elevator up to the 7th floor, where the function/meeting rooms were. There were 10 function rooms on this foor.
Seventh floor
Function rooms were named after flowers, such as Periwinkle or Heliconia. They were of various sizes, and the setting could be arranged to suit the guests.
The chairman himself, Dato Prof. Lau SiuWai himself was there ... briefing us.
What I loved the most about this hotel was the viewing deck on the 17th floor - the Sky Garden.
Dato' Prof. Lau surrounded by members of the media ...
This is Dato' Prof. Lau assuming the role of the PR Manager of the hotel...
Walking out to the deck ...
A view of Miri ...
Sipping cocktail .... while enjoying the view below
The lovely view had knocked a few breaths out of us. Many were indeed impressed. My friend M**** fell immediately in love with the city ... and expressed her wish to come back for a visit in the future.
At the Sky Garden, we were served some refreshments ....
Japanese-inspired rice rolls
Chicken canape
Shrimp cocktail with sliced lemon
Seafood cocktail in a glass
Loved this concotion of shrimps and mussels ... in a creamy dressing. Pleasant to the eye too.
Chicken boxing & calamari rings
A bit thick on the batter and also a bit bland. So I had them served with a dollop of tartare sauce.
We tucked in all those goodies as we relaxed and watched the sun set slowly over this coastal city of Miri ....
And this was bliss!!
