I was there about 3 weeks ago and I also don't get this 'old' comment. Less than top end luxury you may find at other Hotels (including LM's) ? Of course. But it's only a CAT1, so what do you expect ?. As I said, it's only 4 years 'old'.

That's not as bad as the old LM Singapore.

That's a no brainer for me, KK, although you'd be better off in a resort on NYE. A lot of locals head down to Tanjung Aru beach on NYE, which is where one of the Shangri-La's is located.
I accept people may well like Kuching better (for reasons I can't fathom myself
) but if you are looking for what has the bigger tourist-friendly areas then there is no comparison, and comparing the tourist accomodation options tells its own own story.
KK has 2 x Shangri-La Resorts, the 2 x Sutera Resorts (Pacific and Magellan) and the Nexus Resort at Karumbanai. Kuching has got a tired Hilton and a Four Points near the airport.
