IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed Kimpton Kota Kinabalu, the second Kimpton hotel in Malaysia. The 350-room property will be located on the Tanjung Aru shoreline in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, and is scheduled to open in 2031. The agreement is in partnership with Pekah Beach Resorts Sdn Bhd.
The hotel will offer direct beach access and views of the South China Sea and Mount Kinabalu. Facilities will include an all-day dining restaurant, Beach Club, specialty dining venue, pool bar, swimming pools, fitness and wellness facilities, flexible function rooms, and a lounge for private and social events.
Kimpton Kota Kinabalu will join Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur, which opened at Tun Razak Exchange a few months ago. The Kimpton brand has more than 80 hotels open worldwide and over 60 in the pipeline. In Southeast Asia, three Kimpton properties are open, with six more planned, including Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud in Indonesia, scheduled to open this year.
IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio in Malaysia includes InterContinental, Kimpton, and Hotel Indigo brands, with forthcoming debuts of Regent and Vignette Collection.
