Hotel Services
The Jesselton Hotel provides concierge services to arrange activities. The hotel also features the Turnbull Room, named after Sir Roland Turnbull, for formal and informal functions.
“The Jesselton's well-worn charm, steeped in colonial history, feels preferable to the predictable polish of larger chains. Its location puts Kota Kinabalu's cultural heart-from Gaya Street Market to nearby cafes-right outside the door. For travelers seeking character over cookie-cutter, this hotel presents a compelling option.”
