Situated in Kota Kinabalu and with Filipino Market Sabah reachable within 1.7 km, Ritz Residence, Imago Mall Loft B features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. This 5-star hotel offers room service and an ATM. The property has a year-round outdoor pool, fitness centre, sauna and garden. Strong communication ahead of time, they took the initiative! Very convenient positioning at imago, we went shopping and easily found restaurants. KK is small and hotel gave good tips on where to go. Smooth check in. When we arrived at the room, I was a bit worried we wouldn't sleep well as it is so close to the airport, but we both slept like babies. Soft and comfortable bed and nice pillows helped. We were able to see the sun set from our balcony (though a little far away).

Rooms are elegantly decorated with modern furnishings and amenities such as a flat-screen TV and a minibar. Rooms on the Executive Floor enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge for evening cocktails, afternoon high tea, and use of private meeting rooms. A stunning hotel, the pool, gym and sauna are modern and spotless. Our room was upgraded and was spacious and maintained beautifully. We loved the waterfall shower and huge bed. We got room service and didn’t expect much but the vegan burger was hot and so tasty. Just the luxury we needed after climbing Mount Kinabalu!

Furnished with contemporary decor, the air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV and luxury amenities. Some rooms offer club lounge access. The en suite bathroom is fitted with a rain shower and a hairdryer. Guest may enjoy scenic view from the rooms. The room we had was King bed with city view. My daughter loved the room very much. Unfortunately, she was taken ill the night we arrived. We had to ask for help and extra items from reception eg information of getting medical assistance if necessary, asking for extra bottles of drinking water etc. Staff were very quick and obliging. As for the food, we had room service because of my daughter being unwell. She truly loved your kids fish and chips which she said was the best she had ever tasted! We ordered the fish and chips twice within 24 hours. We'd like to commend all staff who were so helpful and very courteous. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Also the hotel is located just in front of the night market which is very convenient. The staff was adorable and comprehensive of our schedule. Lastly the breakfast was AMAZING one of the biggest choice I have seen.
