Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu

Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu sits directly on the city's waterfront on Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, within a five-minute walk of the Sinsuran night market, Waterfront food and entertainment strip, and Api-Api Centre, and about 10 minutes by car from Kota Kinabalu International Airport. The tower-style hotel pairs Le Méridien's signature mid-century-modern aesthetic with local Sabahan touches in its public spaces and artwork. Rooms are contemporary and light-filled, most with floor-to-ceiling windows facing either the South China Sea and outlying islands or the city and Mount Kinabalu foothills; higher-category rooms add club lounge access. The hotel's four dining and bar venues include Latest Recipe, an all-day international dining concept, alongside a lobby bar and a rooftop pool bar with sunset sea views. Facilities include a rooftop infinity pool, a spa, and a 24-hour fitness center. The waterfront location and business-oriented service make it a popular base for both corporate travelers attending events at the nearby convention areas and leisure travelers using the hotel as a launch point for island-hopping tours departing from Jesselton Point, a short walk away.
