Visiting Kota Kinabalu with Young Children - Part 2 - Hotels


We chose to stay in Hyatt Regency Hotel, which costs around RM300 a night without buffet breakfast. The reason that Hyatt Regency is chosen is that it's in the centre of KK town, it's within walking distance to many interesting places, namely the very popular Sunday Market @ Gaya Street, Filipino Market, Waterfront City and some shopping centres. Also, Ryan has got some membership card from Hyatt group which entitles him to buy 2 nights, free 1 night, so that we could save the free nights to go for another trip. *blink-blink*


Some other hotels which are strategically located are Promenade Hotel, Le-Meridien Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel and Jesselton Hotel. If you are looking into resort living, you may opt for Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru, Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort, Nexus Resort Karambunai or Sutera Harbour Resort. Shangri-La's Resorts and Sutera Harbour Resort are very near to the city, while Karambunai Resort is a bit far, which is around 30km away from the city.


Picture is showing the night view of Kota Kinabalu from the observation tower which is near the Dataran, near all the Government buildings. We can see Hyatt Regency Hotel clearly from the picture.

Hi Vivian,

It's me, dropping by after purchasing from your website. I definitely agree about breastfeeding during take-off and landing part. I did the same during our 8-hr flight jney to sydney last august. And i also breastfeed my son everytime he's restless on the flight. It helps a lot!
