 Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu 

Sunsets and sea breezes

Unlock the charm of Kota Kinabalu with a stylish stay at this urban resort.

Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu is your stylish playground by the sea where city vibes meet coastal cool. Perched along the city’s waterfront, everyday you’ll wake up to sweeping views of the South China Sea and your day will end with a sunset worth writing home about. Step outside and you are just a short stroll away from the local markets and cultural gems. On your return, you’ll find sleek rooms, bold flavours, rooftop cocktails and a pool that invites you for a midday dip.
