As the capital of Sabah on the northern island of Borneo, Kota Kinabalu is a popular tourist destination teeming with culture and awe-inspiring beauty. And at the heart of the city lies a newly-opened hotel and one of the tallest towers on the island of Borneo, Sheraton Kota Kinabalu.
Perfectly situated along Jalan Albert Kwok, the hotel marks a landmark moment for Sabah’s tourism industry. It looks out over the South China Sea, with breathtaking views of the majestic Mount Kinabalu. The location places guests within easy reach of the waterfront, shopping areas, and key attractions, making it a convenient base for both locals and international travellers.
At the core of Sheraton Kota Kinabalu is a central communal lobby that provides guests the opportunity to hang-out, work, or unwind with flexible seating, charging points, and soundproof booths for private calls or focused time. This multifunctional space is a versatile hub for socialising or quiet productivity throughout the day.
With 307 rooms and suites, the hotel offers simplicity and comfort. Inspired by Sabah’s coastline and mountains, each room is a serene retreat with extra-large windows that flood the space with natural light and spacious bathrooms. For a more luxurious experience, the suites features broader city or sea views, while Sheraton Club guests have access to a dedicated lounge for work and downtime.
The culinary offerings at the hotel adds to the city’s dining scene as they have something for everyone. Guests can enjoy foreign flavours and local specialties at Daily Social, or visit &More by Sheraton for coffee, pastries, and an evening cocktail. A rooftop bar sits high above the city, offering drinks with sunset views over the coastline, while The Burger Box, a gourmet comfort food spot caters to families and burger lovers alike.
For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, the hotel has an array of leisure facilities such as a fitness centre, spa, and a rooftop infinity pool with stunning panoramic views of the South China Sea.
