Telang Usan Travel & Tours, Borneo

Telang Usan Hotels
The Telang Usan was created with a vision in mind - a hotel who's service reflected the friendly culture of Sarawak, that showcased authentic Sarawakian art and conformed to international Hoteliers' standards of comfort and cleanliness and a hotel that created job opportunities for Sarawakians, offering the opportunity to train and familiarise them to the demanding standards of professionalism in the industry.
Telang Usan, Kuching
We opened in 1989 and are proudly known as the world's first Orang Ulu* owned and managed hotel. Our uniqueness is not confined to the ethnic decor, but cuisine as well - the Telang Usan has over the years popularised Dayak cooking and is established as the place to enjoy original (and imaginative!) Dayak cuisine. The Telang Usan is tucked in a leafy area of Kuching, and is within 10 minutes' walk of the Waterfront and the Main Bazaar, an ideal location for business or leisure travellers. It was confered 3-star status by MOCAT, the Malaysian Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism.
* Orang Ulu - a group of several indigenous tribes mainly found in the interior of Sarawak
Telang Usan, Miri
Miri is known as the gateway to Northern Sarawak and is indeed the start of journeys into the interior of Sarawak and to the world-famous Mulu Caves.The Telang Usan was officially opened in November 1997 and reflects the standards of service and decoration held by its Kuching conterpart. Special emphasis was placed on the comforts of travelling families, and hence larger suite rooms are available. The hotel is conveniently located between Miri Airport and the town centre, and has breath-taking views of the Lambir Hill range.

"Top of the list in this category, the Kenyah decor is just one of the touches that make the place stand out....some of the best Western and local cuisine in town." The Lonely Planet
"Service-Extremely friendly and helpful. What's its USP? The local touch of the Dayak tribe which runs the place and the sense that this is anything but a run-of-the-mill hotel." The Independent, London
