Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 3, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Nestled in the heart of Sabah’s laidback capital of Kota Kinabalu City, Hilton Kota Kinabalu is a stroll away from romantic waterfront sunsets and less than two kilometers from the Signal Hill Observatory Platform, a lookout point that is built 100 meters above the dense tropical jungle. Business meets leisure seamlessly with the property being within three kilometers of the Sabah International Convention Center and major shopping malls. For some fun in the sun, the Jesselton Jetty is just 3 kilometers away from the hotel, where you can hop on a 15-minute boat ride to a cluster of 5 islands famous for kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving. From high-end malls to street-side stalls, the charming juxtaposition of old and new can be witnessed from the hotel’s Rooftop Poolside Bar & Grill offering fresh seafood and grilled meats served with a side of stunning coastal views.
