Elica Sdn Bhd, a property developer, is redeveloping the former Four Points by Sheraton Kuching hotel into Wisma Elica. The project will include voco Kuching, Malaysia's first voco hotel, and Care Collective, East Malaysia's largest senior wellness centre.
Award-winning property developer Elica Sdn Bhd has kicked off its transformation of the former Four Points by Sheraton Kuching/Century Kuching Hotel into Wisma Elica. This ambitious redevelopment will feature two landmark projects: voco Kuching, Malaysia’s first ‘voco’ hotel operated in partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts; and Care Collective, East Malaysia’s largest senior wellness centre run in collaboration with My Care Concierge Sdn Bhd (Care Concierge).
Elica managing director Datuk Bobby Ting said the group’s decision to redevelop the dormant building into Wisma Elica was ‘informed by comprehensive market studies where the findings revealed a significant demand for additional hotel rooms and ballroom space in Kuching, driven by the city’s growing reputation as a hub for business events and tourism. “Key findings include Kuching’s tourism growth, which saw four million visitors in 2023, matching pre-pandemic levels. This figure is expected to grow by eight per cent annually, creating a pressing need for more high-quality accommodations. “Additionally, a deficit in event space, particularly venues capable of hosting large-scale conferences, weddings and exhibitions, further validated the need for a development like Wisma Elica. “With a 1,300-capacity grand ballroom and over 2,400 square metres of versatile event spaces, the project will significantly bolster Kuching’s MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) sector,” he said at an event yesterday, which unveiled the full plans for Wisma Elic
