The only one in
the interior of Sarawak, the Meligai Hotel at Kapit commands unrivalled
view of picturesque Batang Rajang River that sprawled over undulating
terrain of mountainous background covered by virgin forest.
Situated in the
heart of Kapit Town, the hotel is 5 minutes driving from wharf, the
landing and taking-off point of river transportation for both down and
up river travelers and commuters.
‘Meligai’ or
‘Padong’ in Iban is a living quarter or a room within the longhouse
constructed exclusively for beautiful and highly adored maidens to stay
with all the privileges of a princess. The hotel being the only one and
situated higher than any other buildings at that time was most
appropriately named Meligai where visitors would stay and treated with
Iban hospitality.
Hotel Meligai
built in late 70’s, is the product of one of the families of earliest
Iban migrants to Rajang Basin, the late Tun Jugah anak Baring, who
finally settled in Kapit. |
