If you’ve made plans to spend your next holiday in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, but still looking for a place to stay, how about a hotel that offers adventure, relaxation and luxury—everything you need for an epic vacay.
(And if you’ve not added KK to your travel list, this is your sign to do so. 🤭)
Let us take you on a tour of Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu
#1 It’s strategically located in the city but also overlooks the sea!
With its modern architecture and chic designs, this 5-star hotel is a vibe check on its own. What’s even better is that it's only 8km from the airport and is located in the heart of the city, making it a perfect base for your adventures.
Additionally, the hotel offers Instagram-worthy views of the South China Sea and at the right locations, the Mount Kinabalu, giving you the best of both worlds.
#2 There’s plenty of space in its rooms, and you get views of the city or sea

Each room is impressive, with sleek designs and stunning views of the city or sea. You'll feel like a superstar with their plush bedding, and they come with a flat-screen TV, spacious work desk, coffee machine (gotta have that morning juice) and high speed wifi too.
If you’d like to splurge a little, you can also opt for the presidential suite, ambassador suite, or bi-level duplex suite (this one comes with an outdoor jacuzzi!) too.
#3 Its outdoor pool is the place to chill, literally! 😍

After a day of exploring the city, take a break and dive in for a refreshing swim and those poolside selfies at the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool. In case the sun gets too hot, part of the pool comes with shade too; so you can swim all day every day.
#4 It’s near to the jetty, so island hopping will be a breeze

You can’t be in KK and not visit its gorgeous islands.
Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu is only 2km away from the Jesselton Jetty, where you can catch a boat ride to the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and visit Sapi Island, Manukan Island and more. Crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches guaranteed. It’s a great spot for snorkelling or scuba diving too. 🤿
#5 You can easily walk to KK’s waterfront and famous markets
One of the popular spots in KK is the KK Waterfront and Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu is right next to it! Take a stroll along the boardwalk or have a meal at many of the restaurants there.

Or if you’re looking for some handicraft to take home to your family and friends back home, the Handicraft Market is pretty near too. You’ll be spoilt for choice with beautiful sarongs, pareos, pearl jewellery and other handmade gems.
