Set beside the South China Sea across from Kota Kinabalu’s waterfront, Le Méridien is a fifteen minute drive from the Kota Kinabalu International Airport. The lobby and Latitude 05 Bar have been designed to highlight traditional Sabahan designs and features. The carpet is patterned in a Rungus design, wall art evokes the feel of a longhouse, light fixtures represent fish, seagulls, and traditional bamboo musical instruments. Other touches throughout the property evoke elements of nature.

All guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with seaview rooms looking out toward Gaya and Sapi Islands. Rooms are quite spacious with a sofa and working area. Suites are available with a master bedroom and separated living area.

There are four restaurants within the hotel. Latest Recipe serves a variety of international cuisine with five live cooking stations. Favola serves Italian fare in a unique dining room that evokes the feel of one of Borneo’s many caves. Latitude 05 serves a variety of beverages and live musicians perform most evenings. Azure Pool Bar & Cafe is an ideal sunset spot with views over the South China Sea toward the islands.

A swimming pool, fitness centre, and spa round out the amenities available at Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu. For those wishing to experience the city, its vibrant night market, and other urban delights within walking distance, this is an excellent choice.
