Hilton Kota Kinabalu announced the grand launching of 305-room hotel located in the center of Sabah’s capital city on 18th March 2017. An urban melting pot of Southeast Asian culture, Kota Kinabalu has emerged as a growing resort destination for local and international travelers alike due to its unparalleled access to Borneo’s pristine beaches, rugged mountain ranges and incredible
biodiversity.
Hilton Kota Kinabalu is only 300 meters from Kota Kinabalu’s newest landmark – Plaza Shell,
Sabah’s first fully green building. The hotel is also near the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park Islands,
Kota Kinabalu Observatory Tower, and several restaurants and shops at the city’s Waterfront
complex. Hilton Kota Kinabalu is approximately nine kilometers from Kota Kinabalu
International Airport and 90 kilometers from the Kinabalu National Park – home to Mount
Kinabalu, Malaysia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site and the tallest mountain in the
country.
Inspired by Borneo’s unique biodiversity, Hilton Kota Kinabalu’s design features an intriguing
fusion of nature and art, resulting in an authentic, minimalist decor that creates a calm and
2 reflective contemporary guest experience. All 305 guest rooms and suites are equipped with
motion sensing technology that controls lighting and air conditioning, modern furnishings and
ergonomically-designed workspaces while featuring picturesque views of either the
mountainside or vibrant city and sea.
In addition to the hotel’s bar, Club Bar, that is expected to open in third quarter of this year,
guests at Hilton Kota Kinabalu can enjoy three exciting dining concepts:
Urban Kitchen is the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant that offers a globally-inspired
selection of cuisine including local specialties prepared in an open kitchen with live
cooking stations.
Rooftop Poolside Bar & Grill provides diners with an unobstructed view of the city
skyline. The restaurant serves imported grilled meats and an array of fresh seafood
with a diverse selection of international wines is available to satisfy the most discerning
connoisseurs.
Zest Cafe offers an abundant selection of local and international favorites, including
sandwiches, salads, take-away cakes and pastries, as well as a selection of hot and
cold beverages.
Hilton Kota Kinabalu boasts the largest outdoor rooftop pool area in the Malaysian state of
Sabah with a deck area of 842 square meters, a 25-meter long swimming pool and a separate
children’s pool which also presents itself as a fantastic outdoor events space. Following a
relaxing day at the pool, guests can re-energize with a workout in the 24-hour fitness center.
The hotel also offers 15 versatile spaces, perfect for hosting a variety of events – from
corporate conferences to wedding receptions. All meeting rooms enjoy abundant natural
daylight and are fully equipped with advanced multimedia capabilities. The pillar-less 1,065-
square-meter grand ballroom can accommodate more than 900 guests and is furnished with
cutting-edge audiovisual facilities.
