Mercure Pangkalan Bun offers a modern stay inspired by the culture and heritage of Central Kalimantan. Located in the heart of Pangkalan Bun, just 15 minutes from Iskandar Airport, the hotel is an ideal base for both business and leisure travellers exploring the region.
As part of Accor’s Mercure brand, known for its Discover Local concept, the hotel showcases the character of its destination through its design, dining and warm hospitality. Every detail reflects the local culture, giving guests an authentic connection to Pangkalan Bun.
Inspired by the traditional Dayak Rumah Betang, the hotel’s interiors combine natural materials such as wood and rattan with contemporary design. The property features 150 modern rooms and suites, blending comfort with local touches.
Mercure Pangkalan Bun also offers one of the city’s most comprehensive event venues. The pillarless Batuah Ballroom can accommodate up to 650 guests, making it suitable for weddings, conferences, exhibitions and social events. Six additional meeting rooms provide flexible spaces for business and private gatherings.
Dining is led by Kelakai, the hotel’s all-day restaurant, which follows Mercure’s Glo-Cal concept by combining international favourites with local flavours. Guests can also enjoy coffee and pastries at Malining Lobby Lounge, relax with city views at Palapas Bar, or unwind at Danum Pool Bar. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool, fitness centre, spa and sauna.
To celebrate the region’s culinary heritage, the hotel serves local specialities such as Pepes Jelawat and Coto Manggala, alongside signature welcome drinks including Teh Bajakah and Sunset Kecubung. Mercure Pangkalan Bun also supports sustainability by using eco-friendly Purun bags made by local artisans, helping reduce single-use plastics while supporting the local community.
“Mercure Pangkalan Bun is committed to providing a comfortable stay while introducing guests to the rich culture and traditions of Central Kalimantan. Through Mercure’s Discover Local philosophy, every visit is designed to offer authentic experiences and lasting memories,” said Priyatna Widjajasoekma, General Manager of Mercure Pangkalan Bun.

Kumai Harbour, the starting point for traditional klotok river cruises into the park, is around 30–35 minutes away.
