Sabah's first hotel, the Jesselton Hotel, which was set-up in 1954 during an era when Sabah was known as British North Borneo, and its capital city was Jesselton town - hence the name Jesselton. It is the only boutique hotel in Sabah.

Jesselton hotel was refurbished and tastefully "preserved" in the mid-1990s to meet growing demand for its uniqueness compared to other city hotels - still retaining the serenity of bygone days in the style of a refined English Country house with a mix of Chinese antique in the décor, while offering all the conveniences of a modern hotel.

This 31-room property contains all the amenities and services you expect from a 4-star hotel. Amenities like air conditioning, minibar and tea- and coffeemaker add a touch of home.

Located in the historic heart of Kota Kinabalu, where many British colonial and WWII facts and tales were recorded, the hotel is centrally situated in the heart of the banking and financial centre of modern Kota Kinabalu. The hotel is also within walking distance of the Sabah Tourism Board where you can get a lot of useful visitor's information on what to do or where to visit.

You will likely find the Jesselton Hotel to be an excellent accommodation to stay during your visit to Kota Kinabalu. The hotel will be a refreshing change from the standard issue big hotels.
