Nestled in the heart of Kota Kinabalu City, Hilton Kota Kinabalu boasts four dining options, a cocktail bar and an outdoor rooftop pool with a bird’s eye view of the city and harbor.

Rooms are elegantly decorated with modern furnishings and amenities such as a flat-screen TV and a minibar. Rooms on the Executive Floor enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge for evening cocktails, afternoon high tea, and use of private meeting rooms. Everything about this hotel is perfect! The room is clean, the staff is friendly, and the location is great. We especially love the pizza from the restaurant on the 11th floor—it’s the best we’ve ever had! We always stay here when we’re in KK. Highly recommended!

Also the hotel is located just in front of the night market which is very convenient. The staff was adorable and comprehensive of our schedule.

Perched on top of a hill, this resort is surrounded by the tropical rainforests of Borneo. It features an outdoor swimming pool and guests can enjoy dining options at 4 of the in-house restaurants or have a drink at the bar. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Beautiful hotel with a resort feel. We had a junior suite with a balcony and pool view. Perfect place to relax after a long flight. Taxis are cheap and easy to get (use the Grab app). We did a couple of day trips - Orangutan sanctuary etc with our fantastic driver Ringo.
