The latest addition to Hyatt Centric Brand's already illustrious portfolio, Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu is a 222-room hotel positioned in the heart of the city's lively dining and entertainment district and marks the debut of Hyatt's rapidly growing lifestyle brand in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
A convenient homebase for adventurous explorers and local residents to discover authentic experiences and hidden gems of Borneo, the 23-story hotel offers sweeping views overlooking Signal Hill, the islands at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and the South China Sea.
The hotel's contemporary, inviting architecture and interiors reflect the heritage of Sabah with bamboo found in the lobby representing the vegetation of the forest with a greenery-accented rooftop and two striking artworks on the wall reflect the local culture, art and points of interest in Sabah, adding a conversational piece to the communal space.
The Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu features stylish guestrooms, including 16 spacious suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony complete with outdoor furniture, overlooking the bustling city and lush green hills.
When it's dinner time, ON22 restaurant and ON23 bar form the duplex dining destination, immersing guests in vibrant Asian flavors and creative beverages alongside mesmerizing views from day to night.
Featuring indoor and outdoor patio seating, complete with a live kitchen, ON22's 'Dining in the Gardens' theme features three distinct spaces: 'Sea-Forest,' framed with sweeping sights of the sea and the lush hills; 'Wood Garden,' where the décor and greenery is inspired by the tropical rainforest in Borneo; and 'Dry Garden' with its large boulders, stone floors and cinnamon-colored wooden panels, which pay tribute to Malaysia's mighty Mount Kinabalu, with an exclusive section that can be used for intimate events.
Connecting ON22 restaurant to ON23 rooftop bar is a show-stopping curved centerpiece staircase leading guests to a light-filled ambiance with floor-to-ceiling windows where they can enjoy the lounge amid modern furnishings with wood finishes and granite.
A perfect spot for sundown to take in the panoramic island sunset, ON23's welcoming and fun atmosphere is ideal for after-work drinks as well as daytime relaxation where guests can choose from craft cocktails and ciders alongside shared plates and snacks.
