Located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu on the island of Borneo in the Malaysian state of Sabah, the Hyatt Regency faces the South China Sea. Ask for a room facing the sea and you will be mesmerized day and night. There are several islands easily in the protected bay, one of which is a couple of villages with stilted houses. During the day boats of many varieties dart between the jetties and the islands. Some are taking people to the beaches on the islands for a day of fun in the sun. Every evening watch the sun sets in all its glory. No two sunsets are the same and all are beautiful.
The Hyatt has a wonderful outdoor pool that makes one forget it is a city hotel. The Hyatt’s restaurants are great, especially their Chinese Restaurant featuring classic Cantonese, Sichuan and Shangainese favorites, as well as innovative and delicious dim sum. Their Nagisa Japanese Restaurant is fashioned after a Japanese winter cottage serving authentic Japanese cuisine.
The Hyatt’s central location makes it the perfect place from which to explore the area. A tour desk in the lobby is available to make all arrangements. Those looking for extra special attention in a relaxed atmosphere should check on the Club Level where they can enjoy complimentary cocktails and snacks while watching the sun set of the South China Sea.
