HYATT REGENCY KINABALU A MERDEKA CELEBRATION, ELEVATED - More reasons to celebrate. More moments to remember | 14 August to 6 September 2026

-


This Merdeka season, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu invites guests to experience the spirit of celebration through an exclusive collection of stays, dining pleasures, wellness and lifestyle privileges.

Running from 14 August to 6 September 2026, the 2026 Merdeka Sale brings together the best of the hotel experience with up to 44% off on selected stays, dining experiences, gym access and cash e-vouchers.

Set against the captivating backdrop of Kota Kinabalu, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu offers more than a place to stay. It is where contemporary hospitality meets Sabah's unmistakable sense of place, where sea views, refined interiors and thoughtful service create an atmosphere made for lingering a little longer.

THE ART OF THE STAY

For those seeking an elevated escape, the Merdeka Sale presents an opportunity to rediscover the pleasure of a beautifully appointed stay. Spacious interiors, panoramic waterfront views and the understated elegance of Hyatt hospitality come together to create a private retreat in the heart of the city.

Whether it is a spontaneous weekend escape, a romantic pause by the sea or a well-earned family getaway, every stay becomes part of the celebration.

FROM TABLE TO TOAST

The experience extends beyond the guestroom.

Dining takes center stage with opportunities to indulge in carefully crafted culinary experiences, while the hotel's lifestyle offerings add another layer of pleasure to the stay. From an intimate meal to an evening cocktail shared against a glowing Sabah sunset, these are moments designed to be savored rather than hurried.

And for those who believe a holiday should leave you feeling renewed, gym access forms part of the Merdeka Sale offering, bringing wellness into the itinerary.

A LITTLE MORE TO CELEBRATE

The campaign also offers cash e-vouchers and exclusive perks, with benefits extending from dining experiences to premium suite stays.

Selected privileges are valued at up to MYR 1,050, adding even more value to an already compelling Merdeka escape.

It is a particularly enticing proposition for those who appreciate the finer details: a luxurious room, a memorable meal, an unhurried afternoon and the freedom to turn an ordinary city break into something distinctly special.

THIS MERDEKA, STAY FOR THE MOMENT

There is a certain elegance in celebrating close to home, especially when home can feel this extraordinary.

With its prime Kota Kinabalu setting, refined hospitality and a Merdeka offer created around experiences rather than simply discounts, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu turns the national celebration into an invitation to pause, indulge and reconnect.

Tajau and Tradition: The Living Legacy of Siopon in a Murut Engagement

-
Image
It was a very fulfilling and insightful trip to Keningau recently, where the Angin family from Kg. Biah, Sook celebrated an important engagement ceremony. A family member was engaged to someone from outside the Murut community. Shonney Doney, who is of Murut and Dusun heritage, became engaged to a Sino-Kadazan young man from outside the Keningau district. What was truly special is that the Angin family prepared a cultural presentation featuring Siopon, a traditional homemade rice drink kept in jars. The beverage has been passed down for generations and is still practiced today. According to Liza Angin, Shonney’s aunt, the family has been making Siopon for many years, starting with their mother, Villine Lius, who is now 74 years old. Due to health reasons, she can no longer prepare it, so Liza and her siblings made the effort to learn and continue the family tradition. The Angin family According to Liza, long ago the drink was treated like coffee. Whenever visitors came to Murut hom...

Donggongon: The Heartbeat of Penampang’s Culture, Food and Tamu Tradition by Lorena Binisol

Image
Every Wednesday and Thursday, something special happens in Donggongon , the vibrant township at the heart of Penampang . The streets come alive as villagers, vendors and townsfolk gather for the beloved Tamu , a weekly market that has long been part of the community’s rhythm. For generations, the Tamu has been more than just a marketplace. It is a meeting ground where stories are exchanged, traditions are preserved, and the spirit of the community continues to thrive. At the moment, vendors are temporarily operating in the open space between shop lots while the new permanent Tamu building is under construction. The upcoming structure promises a more modern look, but many locals still remember the rustic charm of the old Tamu, where simple stalls created a warm and authentic village atmosphere. Despite the temporary setting, the market remains lively. Visitors can still find baskets filled with fresh vegetables, tropical fruits and produce brought in from nearby villages. Among the u...

-
Image
The ACCA Sabah Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner held at ITCC Seafood Restaurant brought together members for an evening defined by introductions, renewed connections, and professional camaraderie. The programme centred largely on new members stepping forward to introduce themselves and share their current roles, while several long-standing members also took the opportunity to reconnect and re-establish professional ties in a relaxed setting. From my perspective within the professional and academic landscape, the evening reflected something deeper than a festive gathering; it demonstrated the importance of sustaining a strong professional ecosystem. Each introduction, whether from a new entrant or an experienced practitioner, highlighted how the accountancy field continues to evolve while remaining anchored in shared standards and collective responsibility. A healthy ecosystem is not built overnight; it grows through mentorship, collaboration, and the willingness of members to contribute...
