Rising as one of the tallest towers in Kota Kinabalu, the new Sheraton Kota Kinabalu sets a new benchmark for hospitality in Sabah’s coastal capital. With 307 guestrooms, thoughtfully designed public spaces, and a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the South China Sea and Mount Kinabalu, the hotel combines contemporary design, comfort, and local culture to deliver a premium experience for both business and leisure travellers.
As part of Marriott International’s Sheraton Hotels & Resorts portfolio, the property introduces the brand’s global transformation vision, which focuses on fostering connection, collaboration, and community through innovative design and signature experiences.
Warm Spaces
At the heart of the hotel, the Communal Lobby serves as a vibrant hub for gathering and collaboration. Anchored by the signature Community Table, the space is bathed in natural light and equipped with power outlets and wireless charging, making it ideal for business meetings, remote work, or casual social interaction. For guests seeking privacy, soundproof Booths and the versatile Studio provide quiet spaces for focused work, video calls, or informal gatherings. These communal areas reflect Sheraton’s commitment to creating environments that encourage engagement, productivity, and a genuine sense of belonging.
Guestrooms and suites at Sheraton Kota Kinabalu are designed with Sabah’s natural beauty in mind. Standard rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious bathrooms, providing a serene retreat in the heart of the city. Premium categories, including Executive Rooms, Suites, and the Presidential Suite, offer elevated luxury with sweeping panoramic views of the coastline and mountains. Guests with access to the Sheraton Club Lounge enjoy an exclusive environment for business, relaxation, or informal meetings, complemented by premium amenities and curated food and beverage offerings.
Food For Thought
The hotel’s culinary offerings cater to a range of tastes and occasions. Daily Social serves global favourites and local specialities in a lively, all-day dining setting. &More by Sheraton combines a café, market-style space, and laidback bar for specialty coffee, light bites, and cocktails. The Burger Box offers casual, creative dining for families and food enthusiasts, while the Rooftop Bar, perched 100 metres above sea level, provides panoramic city and sea views and an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere for sunset gatherings and evening cocktails.
Sheraton Kota Kinabalu also caters to events, meetings, and weddings, featuring a 703-sqm grand ballroom, four flexible meeting rooms, and The Wedding Pavilion, which offers sweeping views of the sea and surrounding islands. Wellness is prioritised through the Sheraton Spa, fully equipped Fitness Centre, and the rooftop infinity pool, providing guests with a balanced urban escape.
Combining contemporary luxury with Sabah’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, Sheraton Kota Kinabalu is set to deliver a vibrant, community-focused hospitality experience. For all it is slated to offer, it not only stands as new option for visitors to the capital city, but it is also poised to make the hotel a key destination for discerning travellers in Borneo.
