Located just 10 minutes drive from the Kota Kinabalu International Airport, the recently renovated Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort is a heavenly retreat offering 495 tastefully furnished rooms and suites, seven restaurants and bars, and ample recreational opportunities for families and leisure travellers.

Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort is currently building their signature spa, CHI, which will be the largest and most luxuriously appointed spa in Sabah. According to the resort "Each treatment takes place in a personal spa villa on our private isle of Pulau Bayu, allowing you to indulge your senses in spacious and private surroundings."

When I was between the ages of 8 to 10, I was staying in Kota Kinabalu and Tanjung Aru beach (the public side) was one of our favourites places for picnics. Back then (1982-1984), the Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort was already the premier resort. I didn't get a chance to stay there then but would really love to take a holiday there one day.
Check out the hotel's site for more breathtaking photographs of the beach and promotions.

Hyatt Regency Kinabalu from RM223.00 per night
Friday, 15 December 2006
Hyatt Regency Kinabalu is located in the heart of the city of Kota Kinabalu, facing the South China Sea, the capital of the state of Sabah is also the international gateway to East Malaysia. Only 15 minutes from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu sits in the hub of the vibrant business, shopping and entertainment districts.
I stayed at this hotel in the year 2003 and was very impressed with the room (which is not unlike the picture above). I was given a room facing the sea and I could see the little (and not so little) boats along the harbour. The room is well kept and full of amenities and I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay there. I remembered the bed was great and even took a quick nap just before I left for the airport.
The harbour is a hive of activity as there is a market nearby including a Filipino Market where you can get handicrafts made by the Filipino community as well as sea produce. Lots of things to buy, I must say.
As this hotel is located in the town centre, there are plenty of shops around. In fact, the hotel adjoins a shopping centre (Wisma Merdeka, if I remembered the name correctly) which has plenty of shops including local handicraft shops (where you can buy souveniers), pharmacy, book stores, saloons etc. There is a fast food chain across the road (McDonald's or Burger King, I can't remember) if you want a quick bite. If you are interested in exploring the town, this hotel will be suitable for you.
At the moment, you can get rooms from RM223.00 per night, which is a great deal considering that this is a 5-star rated hotel. Check out their website by clicking on the pictures above.
