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. The Loft was located at the Imago Shopping Mall which had everything I needed when I looked for sunblock and insect repellents for my tours. The staff were super friendly. I checked in extra late (My flight arrived at 1:20 AM) but they waited for me so that I could check in. I asked for recommendations for massages and they continuously helped me through WhatsApp. The place was very nice, my only regret is that I packed my schedule too much that I didn’t get to sleep in longer! It’s a vacation on itself just to stay there. As for late night food or snacks, a restaurant which was located at the front of the Loft was open 24/7 so getting hungry at night was not a problem. The room looked exactly like the photos here.

Others include only glass bottled water to minimise their plastic consumption efforts. Great job Pullman hotel.
