Waterfront 5-star attached to the Oceanus mall, with an infinity pool facing the sunset and a 24-hour gym — the pick if you want a sea-view room in the city and don't need to be on Gaya Street.

What it is
Kota Kinabalu Marriott is on the waterfront at the southern end of the CBD, connected to the Oceanus mall and a short walk from Imago mall and the Filipino Market. It has 332 rooms, an infinity pool with a children's pool, a 24-hour fitness centre and free parking. Gaya Street is about 15 minutes on foot; Jesselton Point is a short drive.
Check-in 3:00 PM, check-out 12:00 PM.

Eating

How far is Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel from the airport?
About 16 minutes by car (8.7 km), depending on traffic. Grab and taxis are easy at KKIA, or ask us to arrange a pickup.
Is breakfast included at the Marriott?
Only on rates that include it. Otherwise the buffet is charged per person; ask us for a rate with breakfast.
Can I walk to the island ferry?
It's about 2 km to Jesselton Point, so most people take a Grab rather than walk it in the heat.
Can I book Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel through this site?
Yes. Send your dates by WhatsApp or the form and our licensed Sabah tours agency confirms availability and rate with the hotel. There's no booking fee, and you can add island trips, a Kinabalu climb or airport transfers to the same enquiry.
