Hilton has announced the opening of its new Hilton Garden Inn in Tuaran, marking the brand’s debut in the area and expanding its presence in East Malaysia. Situated along a serene beachfront, the hotel provides a tranquil escape approximately 30 minutes from Kota Kinabalu, offering easy access to Sabah’s natural attractions, including the UNESCO-listed Kinabalu National Park.
The 167-room hotel is designed for both leisure and business travellers, featuring king and twin configurations, family and accessible rooms, and premium options with private patios.
