A ceremony to mark the handing over of the hotel by the project developer, Borneo Development Corporation (Sarawak) (BDC), and the Works Department to Rangkaian Hotel Seri Malaysia was held at the new hotel here yesterday.

Deputy Tourism Minister, Datuk Dr James Dawos Mamit witnessed the event where BDC general manager, Dr John Panil made the official handover of hotel to managing

director of Rangkaian Hotel Seri Malaysia, Zahriah Abdul Kadir.

Located in the centre of Lawas town, the hotel offers 104 rooms including two VIP rooms as well as a main hall, meeting rooms, seminar rooms and a swimming pool.

Work on the hotel started last year and it was fully completed in November this year with a cost of RM35 million.

Lawas has its own tourist attractions and can be touted as among the main tourism products of Sarawak, he added. — Bernama
