#Hilton Kota Kinabalu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
THE URBAN KITCHEN @HILTON KOTA KINABALU
#myfoodies
The Urban kitchen is located on lobby floor of Hilton Kota Kinabalu, Sabah which is one of the main restaurant available at this property.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner is also served here. Breakfast buffet consists of a wide range of menu from Malay, Chinese, Korean and Indian as well as western menu.
The main highlight for my breakfast experience is their variety of pastries. not only they were looking nice and presentable but also the taste were really great and high quality ingredients used.
Start at 6.30 am till 10.30 am, it is one of the decent place to have international breakfast buffet in the heart of Kota Kinabalu while you are in this Borneo's capital.

The Suite Life
I had the privilege and pleasure of staying a few nights in the One Bedroom Executive Suite of Hilton Kota Kinabalu. The location of the hotel is excellent! It’s 5 minutes away drive from many of Kota Kinabalu’s places of interests. The hotel was rebranded and renovated in 2018 so everything is still quite new and modern!
The room had a guest toilet, a big dining table and a spacious living room with a nice study table. The bedroom was HUGE! With a big comfortable king bed. The toilet was also renovated beautifully and had an amazing bathtub that could fit 3 if you wanted!
I only paid RM304 for this place and it’s definitely a steal, come try it out yourself!

BREAKFAST EXPERIENCE @HILTON KOTA KINABALU
Having a good breakfast is really needed to start off your day. Here in Hilton Kota Kinabalu, rest assured that breakfast is one of the best breakfast you will ever had in the Borneo.
Served as a la carte menu breakfast during pandemic, visitor still have the option to choose unlimited menu as per buffet style breakfast.

Executive Club Lounge @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Name of Place: Executive Club Lounge @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
location: Level 9 of Hilton KK
Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Operating hours: 2 pm to 10 pm
Executive Club Lounge @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu is probably the nicest-looking Lounge I have been to date. It is really built and designed to impress the guests. It was so spacious with various seating areas including a smoking corner on the outside balcony.
They were a variety of food and drinks offered during the evening cocktail hour which is from 5 pm to 8 pm. I enjoyed the hot food offered, especially the little salmon tarts and the crunch curry leaf tarts were super delicious and flavourful.
Overall, I am looking forward to be back at Hilton KK Lounge if I get the chance.

Name of Place: Executive Club Lounge @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
location: Level 9 of Hilton KK
Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Operating hours: 2 pm to 10 pm
I had so much of fun, food and drinks at the Hilton Kota Kinabalu Club lounge that I have decided to write a post just about the experience there. From the moment I have seated, the kind and courteous staff members kept me on a never-ending free flow of Vodka + Orange juice - Screwdriver. I think I gulped down a total of 6 glasses over the one hour I was there.
This Executive Club lounge also has a little smoking corner at the back which has the most beautiful spot to catch the golden sunset hour.

Swimming Pool @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Name of Place: Swimming Pool, Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Location: Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Operating hours: 6 am to 10 pm
I went to check out the Swimming pool close to 5.30 pm as it was still drizzling from a heavy downpour it was rather gloomy and cloudy. I didn't feel like Swimming as it was super chilly so I just read a book and was enjoying the view. In about 15mins the rain clouds cleared out and the golden sunset view came about.
The Swimming pool in Hilton Kota Kinabalu is located on the rooftop, together with the lavish poolside bar, grill restaurant.

The Club @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Name of Place: Club Bar, Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Location: Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Operating hours: 4 pm - 12 am daily
As I was exploring the neighbourhood and area around Hilton Kota Kinabalu I noticed this little entrance at the back of the hotel. Being curious I went and push the door open and I walked into this beautiful bar. At about 6 pm when I was there it was rather quiet maybe due to the heavy downpour. I heard from the staff members that it will get really crowded after 9 pm as they have a famous live band playing there from 830pm. I was then offered a glass of their famous signature cocktail known as the Club Chai. It had a very unique taste to it with some hints of sour plum.

Breakfast @Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Name of Place: Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Location: Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Breakfast in Hilton Kota Kinabalu is served in the Urban kitchen restaurant from 630 am to 1030am daily. Urban kitchen is located on the first floor just ahead of the check in area.
In Kota Kinabalu I noticed that the sun rises really early at 6.15am it was already as bright as how it would be at 730am in Singapore. I went for an early breakfast at 630am and was the first few diners there. The breakfast spread was huge, from local favourites like nasi lemak to western standards such as American breakfast were all available. I noticed that the focus here was on the bakery items, there were so many delicious types on display. I tried the LOLO bun which had a very interesting coconut flavoured taste to it.

Sunset from Kota Kinabalu Marriott
Name of Hotel: Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel
Location: Lot G, 23A, Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Just a short 10mins slow walk away from Hilton Kota Kinabalu is the Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel. I have heard from friends and fellow travellers that watching the sunset from Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel is the top 10 must-do thing in Kota Kinabalu.
I left Hilton at about 545 pm via grab in fear of missing the Sunset, the traffic was slow and I reached Marriott at about 6.12 pm to my horror sunset in Kota Kinabalu is between 5.30 to 6.15 pm, unlike in Singapore. When I hurried my way up to the roof top, I could only see the beautiful pink hues. Hope you enjoy my pictures. If you are there please be early for the sunset.

One Bedroom Suite @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Name of Hotel: Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Location: Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
This is my first stay with Hilton Kota Kinabalu and I must say that from the check-in process it has been excellent. I arrived at about 3 pm and the room was well and ready for me. I was given the One King bedroom suite for this stay.
Room no 703, located on the 7th floor, this room is huge! It comes with a separate dining room and a living room. I was truly impressed with the size of the room, I am sure it can easily fit a family of 5 or even 6. There were 2 large flat-screen TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the living area.
The toilet was also simply gorgeous, I loved the modern design and the rain shower.
Overall perfect stay! hope to get the same room again for my next stay.

Drip Cafe @ Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Name of Hotel: Hilton Kota Kinabalu
Location: Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman, Asia City, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Drip Cafe in Hilton KK Lobby, operating hours:7am to 7 pm.
The smell of freshly baked Portuguese egg tarts brought me to this little cafe at the corner of Hilton KK Lobby, once there I saw the staff just setting up the cafe displaying freshly baked items such as Croissants, muffins and doughnuts. I wasn't very hungry but didn't mind trying some light snacks before heading out so was wondering what to get. a staff member recommended I to try the baked cheesecake which Hilton KK was famous for. Say no more, I got one delivered to my room to enjoy later.
Overall, a good place to hang out with your friends for a quick fix.#foodie #passionpassport

Review on Hilton Kota Kinabalu & Check-in Area
As I arrived at the entrance I could already feel the grandness of the Hilton Lobby. 2 service members greeted me and came over to assist me immediately, one helped with the luggage while the other helped open the doors to enter.
The interior of the Hilton KK Lobby is designed so beautifully to allow natural sunlight to enter and to showcase the available spaces of the seating areas for guests. One can also feel at home with the warm cove lighting used. The grand Lobby also connects one to the urban kitchen on the left side where the breakfast is served and on the right side to Drip. At the back of the Lobby, they have the Hilton club.
Overall beautiful Lobby, with a warm welcoming vibe to it. Ample space to relax and wait while waiting to check-in.
