Park Hotel
Primary tabs
Built in the early 1970s, Park Hotel is THE first high-rise building hotel in Miri with a shopping & retail area at the ground floor with a ticketing car parking system.This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. The ground floor retail common areas don't feature air conditioning, although some retail shops themselves do have air conditioning. Of those that do, the words 'air conditioning' were proudly displayed on their signboards to woo customers.
The 1970s parking ticketing system is still being used until 2017, but the parking spaces and street lanes within are starting to get a bit cramped for today's modern car sizes.
By 2017 the Park Hotel was closed down indefinitely as a result of its inability to compete with newer & modern hotels springing up all over Miri, making its mark as a part of Miri's long history.
As of 2019, the building appears to be empty and abandoned.

The Baram Ferry used to operate at the Baram River, transporting vehicles and passengers across the river. The ferry was a vital link between Miri-Brunei border and for a long time it was the only way to get across.
In the old days, a ferry allows commuters to cross the river from the town to the Miri peninsula conveniently. The ferry is also vital to the hospital emergency responses.
