Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu  

In the buzzing heart of Kota Kinabalu, this contemporary 5‑star hotel sits across from the waterfront and Handicraft Market. A 5‑minute walk reaches KK Plaza, Centre Point is 0.4 mi away and Jesselton Point ferry terminal about 1 mi; Gaya Street and major shopping malls are within easy walking distance. Overlooking the sea, it’s a downtown stay with fast access to island excursions and the city’s top sights.

Art Deco meets modern comfort in 412 newly renovated rooms with pillowtop beds, minibars and flat‑screen TVs. Bathrooms feature separate tubs and rainfall showers with designer toiletries, and select spots deliver sea views. Expect a sunset rooftop bar, a poolside bar and cafe, and a full spa offering massages, body treatments and facials.

Dip in the outdoor leisure pool, sweat it out in the fitness center, then unwind in the sauna or jacuzzi. The hotel runs a dive club and tour desk for island trips, offers concierge and wedding services, and provides parking and a 24‑hour reception. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and easy on‑site pampering.

A 24‑hour business center, meeting rooms and a 4,962 sq ft (461 sqm) conference facility make events simple. Complimentary wired and wireless (high‑speed) internet keeps you connected, with express check‑out and airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Choose from four on‑site restaurants including Latest Recipe for international cuisine, plus a coffee shop/cafe and casual poolside bites. Two bars and a rooftop sunset bar serve cocktails, and Asian/Western breakfasts are offered daily (fee applies).
