Announcement

Kota Kinabalu has long been a popular gateway for international travellers headed to the rainforests and pristine coral reefs of eastern Sabah and Borneo. This coastal city a short flight away from capital Kuala Lumpur, is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Mount Kinabalu, the fifth highest point in South-east Asia, and renowned for its indigenous tribes and cultural diversity, despite being one of Malaysia’s fastest growing cities. Only 15 minutes’ drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre with its convenient access to and from the city’s major roads, banks, office complexes and the new Sabah International Convention Centre, is the ideal place for business travellers to base themselves. While leisure visitors will be thrilled with the walking distance to entertainment venues, eateries, shopping malls and tourists attractions. Just a stone’s throw away is the historical Jesselton Port with ferries to nearby islands, among them Pulau Sipadan which draws adventurous divers to its waters. The 4-star hotel offers a choice of 310 contemporary guest rooms comprising 135 Superior rooms, 40 executive suites and 135 suites in configurations of one-, two- and three-bedroom, spread over the 25-storey building with guests residing on the higher floors enjoying views of the ocean. Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer, AccorHotels for Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, says that “the opening of Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre strengthens our network in Malaysia, where we currently operate 16 hotels offering more than 5,000 rooms.” Of the 27 properties AccorHotels plans to open in Malaysia, adding some 8,400 rooms to our network over the next three years, three developments are in Sabah. For events, meetings, weddings or social gatherings, the hotel’s function room on the roof top, which also houses the hotel’s gym and swimming pool, features state-of- the- art audio visual equipment and can accommodate up to 40 guests. For those who wish to dine in, Maupassant offers all-day dining while Fratini’s serves a wide range of Italian favourites. Phileas Café in the lobby is another rest stop for a quick hearty meal, while the Compass Lounge on the rooftop is the perfect place for a leisurely wine and dine affair while admiring the ocean in the distant. Hotel General Manager Mr. Jacques Leizerovici, who fell in love with the city 11 years ago and stayed for good, says that “Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre is well positioned to cater to the needs of both business and leisure travellers, and the ideal location for social and corporate events. With the ambience and facilities offered within this hotel, we hope to achieve a standard of guest experience that surpasses others in this city.” From now until 31 December 2017, celebrate the opening of Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre with the opening special offer of MYR 245.30 ++ per night with breakfast in a Superior room.
