Rooms in the thoroughly renovated Kinabalu Wing offer Kota Kinabalu’s most luxurious accommodations. Inspired by Borneo’s rich cultural heritage, a myriad of textures, patterns and colours adorn each room, from turquoise-hued fabrics that complement the view of the South China Sea to rich woods of cherry, teak, ebony and coconut, weaved-rattan furniture with floral-patterned cushions, and an exotic blend of linen and cotton in the overstuffed sofas, ottoman and chaise longue.

Embellishing the wall of every room is a unique artwork that ingeniously combines mother of pearl and tobacco, with inspiration from local flora and fauna.
