Map of Miri in 2005

To picture Miri when the township came to know oil, we have to project ourselves into a very different past. When the original Shell men arrived, it consisted of 20 scattered houses and a few shops. These included a bazaar, a gambling farm, a pawn shop and an Arab shop. The trade of Miri consisted chiefly of jelutong, brassware, belachan and budu.

Located in the center of the city, Yew Hotel is just a stone's throw away from the nightlife, restaurants, shopping hub of Miri. It is walking distance from from nearby popular malls and historical & tourism landmarks.
