Taipan / Inanam, Kota Kinabalu

A 184-room 3-star ibis Styles in Kota Kinabalu's Taipan commercial zone, featuring an industrial-rustic design and rooms from approximately $36.

Last updated August 11, 2026

ibis Styles Kota Kinabalu Inanam is a 184-room, 3-star Accor property located in the Taipan commercial zone of Inanam, approximately 7 km northeast of central Kota Kinabalu. It carries the ibis Styles brand's signature all-inclusive rate covering breakfast and unlimited Wi-Fi, alongside an industrial-rustic design aesthetic that differentiates it from a standard ibis. The Taipan location places it within the Inanam-Kolombong commercial corridor, making it a practical base for business travellers visiting the area's industrial and logistics zones, with a short drive to the city centre. For ALL Accor elite members, standard ibis-level programme benefits apply: welcome drink for Silver and above, room upgrades for Platinum and Diamond subject to availability, and early check-in and late check-out for Diamond. Rooms start from approximately $36 per night, positioning it as a value-focused option in the Kota Kinabalu market. As a select-service property, on-site dining and leisure facilities are limited — the hotel's strength is value and a distinctive design identity rather than resort-style amenities.
