Imperial Hotel Miri is a 2.5-star property in the heart of Miri Town, Sarawak, built around a distinctive two-wing layout: the Imperial Wing and the Permaisuri Wing, each with its own pool, fitness centre, and dining outlet. This split-wing design is unusual for a Miri property of this size and is part of what sets Imperial Hotel Miri apart from single-tower hotels nearby. The property sits at 827, Jalan Post, Miri Town, Miri, Sarawak, 98000 — an address the hotel itself describes as being at the "Golden Triangle" of Miri Resort City, directly connected to shopping mall space rather than standing as an isolated tower.
Across its 280 rooms, Imperial Hotel Miri positions itself as a business-and-leisure hybrid: guests arriving for meetings can use the hotel's business facilities and multilingual front-desk staff, while leisure travellers have two swimming pools (including a children's pool), a sauna, and a fitness centre to choose from. A concierge and 24-hour front desk are on hand throughout a stay, and luggage storage is available for guests arriving before check-in or departing after check-out. The combination of a shopping-mall-adjacent location, dual-wing pools, and a genuinely large room inventory for the city is the property's core identity, and it is this mix — rather than any single standout feature — that recurs across the hotel's own room, dining, and facility pages.
Imperial Hotel Miri runs a wide room-tier ladder split across its Imperial Wing and Permaisuri Wing, plus a separate set of apartment-style units for longer stays. Listed from the true entry level upward, the tiers are as follows.
This is the hotel's actual budget-conscious entry tier, positioned in the Permaisuri Wing without a view outlook. Like the other standard-tier rooms, it is equipped with Wi-Fi access, a direct-dial telephone, an in-room safe, a multi-channel television, an iron and ironing board, a tea/coffee making set, and a minibar. Guests booking this tier should expect the most straightforward finish in the property, prioritising value over outlook.
One step above the Permaisuri Standard, this room adds a view — the hotel's own materials describe the Permaisuri Wing pool as offering sunset views over the city from its 4th-floor level, and rooms on this tier are positioned to take advantage of a similar outlook. In-room amenities match the Standard tier: Wi-Fi, direct dialling, safe, multi-channel TV, iron/board, tea/coffee facilities, and a minibar.
In the Imperial Wing, the Standard Room is described as a straightforward stay without a specified view, carrying the same base in-room amenity set as the Permaisuri-side rooms: Wi-Fi, direct-dial phone, safe, multi-channel TV, iron/board, tea/coffee, and minibar.
The Imperial Wing's Superior Room is marketed by the hotel as a "convenient and cosy en-suite stay" with either a courtyard view or a city view, sitting a tier above the Standard Room while carrying the same core in-room features.
A mid-tier category in the Imperial Wing's ladder, sitting between the Superior Room and the Executive-branded rooms. The hotel's room listing does not break out separate in-room specifications for this tier beyond the general amenity set described above, so guests should confirm current in-room specifics on the listing before booking.
Aimed at business travellers, the Executive Room adds a wide-screen plasma television and business-oriented amenities on top of an in-room safe, positioning it above the Deluxe tier.
The hotel lists 29 Suite Room units, finished with a wide-screen plasma television as part of the upgrade over the standard room tiers.
Combining suite-style space with business-traveller amenities, the Executive Suite carries the same wide-screen plasma TV and in-room safe as the Executive Room, in a larger suite configuration.

For longer stays, Imperial Hotel Miri also offers a separate line of apartment-style accommodation: 1 Room Deluxe and 2 Rooms Deluxe apartments, described by the hotel as having a "homely feel" with settees, a television and DVD player, a refrigerator, and a cooking stove; and 2 Rooms Executive and 3 Rooms Executive apartments, which add an in-unit washing machine on top of the same homely apartment features. These units suit families, groups, or guests staying for extended work assignments in Miri who want kitchen facilities rather than a standard hotel room.
Imperial Hotel Miri's facilities are split between its two wings, so it is worth knowing which pool or gym belongs to which side of the property before booking. The Imperial Wing has a swimming pool positioned on its Level 5 podium rooftop, giving guests a rooftop pool with city views, while a separate children's pool is available for younger guests. A sauna also sits on Level 5 of the Imperial Wing. On the other side of the property, the Permaisuri Wing has its own swimming pool on the 4th floor, oriented to catch sunset views over Miri.
Each wing also has its own fitness centre: the Imperial Wing's gym is open to both hotel guests and outside fitness members and is equipped with weight-training equipment and cardio machines, with professional instructors available during opening hours of 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM. The Permaisuri Wing's fitness centre carries the same equipment and hours but is reserved for hotel guests only.
Beyond recreation, the hotel maintains a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, and a concierge desk to help with local arrangements. Business facilities are available for guests travelling for work, and laundry service and luggage storage cover practical needs during a stay. An on-site restaurant serves guests directly, and breakfast is offered on-site as part of the property's dining line-up (see the dining section below for the specific outlets and what each one serves). A standard, per-room, per-night tourism tax applies to non-Malaysian guests under Malaysia's national tourism tax framework — guests should check current amounts on the booking page rather than relying on a fixed figure, since tax rules are set nationally and can be adjusted.
Imperial Hotel Miri sits at 827, Jalan Post in Miri Town, an address the hotel positions as being within the "Golden Triangle" of Miri Resort City. Rather than standing alone, the hotel is directly attached to shopping mall space: the Imperial Mall connected to the Imperial Wing spans four storeys and around 146 retail shops covering fashion, electronics, beauty services, and banking, and includes a large Boulevard Hypermarket. On the Permaisuri Wing side, the Permaisuri Imperial City Mall offers a separate shopping centre with designer outlets and a cinema, linked to the main Imperial Mall by a connecting bridge — so guests can walk between both retail precincts without leaving the complex.
For guests arriving from outside Miri, Miri International Airport is around 15 minutes away by taxi or car according to the hotel's own materials, making it a practical base for both business trips and onward travel around northern Sarawak. Travellers coordinating flights into Miri or connecting onward through Malaysia can compare routes and check flight options on Traveloka before locking in hotel dates. Within Miri Town itself, being embedded in the Golden Triangle commercial hub means restaurants, banking, and entertainment venues sit within walking distance of the property, which is a common theme in how the hotel describes its own setting.
Imperial Hotel Miri runs three named dining outlets across its two wings, each with a different role in a guest's stay. Palm Terrace Cafe sits in the Imperial Wing, adjacent to the swimming pool and set among palm trees, and serves an international and BBQ-style buffet in an alfresco, poolside setting with evening barbecue service overlooking Miri City. Imperial Restaurant, also in the Imperial Wing, is located off the lobby and offers both Oriental round-table seating and Western table arrangements, built around an open-kitchen concept, along with a full bar serving wines, cocktails, and mocktails. On the Permaisuri Wing side, Permaisuri Coffee House takes design cues from Hong Kong-style cafés and sits beside that wing's pool, functioning primarily as the breakfast outlet for guests staying in the Permaisuri Wing.
Guests who want to range further afield during a longer stay in Miri can also look into activities and things to do around Miri to plan meals and outings outside the hotel, since the surrounding Golden Triangle precinct and connected malls host additional food options beyond the hotel's own three outlets.
Imperial Hotel Miri's case for a stay rests on scale and structure rather than a single flagship amenity: 280 rooms spread across a nine-tier room ladder plus a separate apartment-style wing give it more flexibility than most Miri hotels, from a budget-conscious Permaisuri Standard Room through to a Presidential Suite or a multi-room apartment for an extended stay. Having two full sets of pool and gym facilities — one on the Imperial Wing's rooftop, one on the Permaisuri Wing's fourth floor — means guests are not limited to a single recreation area regardless of which wing they book into.
The direct mall connections are also a practical draw: guests can walk from their room into Imperial Mall's roughly 146 shops or across the link bridge into the Permaisuri Imperial City Mall's cinema and designer outlets without arranging separate transport. For travellers assembling a wider Sarawak itinerary, that same convenience extends to browsing other hotels in Miri and across Malaysia on Traveloka to compare against Imperial Hotel Miri's room tiers and mall-adjacent setting.
Because Imperial Hotel Miri runs two wings with different pool hours, fitness-centre access rules, and breakfast outlets, it is worth checking which wing a specific room rate belongs to before booking — the Permaisuri Wing's fitness centre, for instance, is guest-only, while the Imperial Wing's gym also accepts outside members. Families or groups planning to cook their own meals or do laundry during a longer stay should look specifically at the apartment-style units (2 Rooms Executive and 3 Rooms Executive include an in-unit washing machine), rather than the standard hotel room tiers.
Non-Malaysian guests should also budget for Malaysia's standard per-room, per-night tourism tax, which is separate from the room rate and applied at checkout under national rules. Check-in at Imperial Hotel Miri is from 3:00 PM, with check-out before 12:00 noon, so travellers with early flights out of Miri International Airport may want to confirm late check-out availability directly through the listing. For the full current details on rates, room photos, and availability, guests can review and lock in a stay directly on the Traveloka homepage.
As announced by Royal Malaysian Customs Department, Tourism Tax is imposed starting 1 January 2023 for all hotel guests that are non-Malaysian or non-permanent Residents of Malaysia. Please expect that hotel will collect the Tourism Tax from you during check-in at the hotel. The Tourism Tax rate is 10 RM per room per night.
