Sustainability

Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, located in the heart of Kota Kinabalu along the vibrant waterfront, reflects the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Sabah while offering modern comfort. As a gateway to Borneo’s diverse ecosystems, the hotel recognizes the importance of protecting the region’s natural environment and celebrating its cultural heritage.

As a Green Key certified hotel, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu has met the programme’s applicable environmental management and sustainability criteria. Guided by Hyatt’s World of Care philosophy, we have introduced initiatives focused on energy and water management, waste reduction, responsible food sourcing and community engagement. These initiatives form part of our ongoing efforts to review and manage the environmental impacts of hotel operations.

World of Care is Hyatt’s approach to caring for the planet, people and responsible business. To learn more, visitg for the planet, people and responsible business. To learn more, visit Hyatt.com/WorldOfCare.

Climate Change and Water Conservation

At Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, we recognise the importance of managing our environmental impact. We have introduced energy-efficiency measures, including LED lighting, optimised heating and cooling systems, and lighting management controls to help manage energy consumption.

Our hotel has also implemented a rainwater harvesting system that collects rainwater for reuse in selected hotel operations, helping to reduce reliance on mains water for these applications.

Waste and Circularity

Waste management is an important part of our daily operations, with practices in place to minimise waste and encourage responsible resource use.

Our efforts include reducing selected single-use items, such as paper napkins, chopsticks, straws and candy wrappers. Our in-house water bottling system also enables the use of reusable glass bottles, which are cleaned, sanitised and refilled, alongside efforts to minimise packaging waste.

Waste separation systems are in place across the hotel, and we work with local partners on waste collection and management.

Our Food Philosophy

We believe exceptional dining begins with thoughtfully sourced ingredients and trusted partnerships that reflect our commitment to quality and care.

Through our partnership with Signal Hill Eco Farm, we serve cage-free eggs across our dining venues. We also work with local producers, including A Leaf and Weeds & More, to offer a variety of plant-based dishes, bringing more choice to our guests.

Our culinary offerings also feature selected seafood products certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), reflecting our approach to responsible food sourcing.

Thriving Destination

Hyatt Regency Kinabalu celebrates its connection to Sabah’s people, culture and natural environment. Guests can explore the destination through local experiences, from nearby attractions and waterfront sunset walks to cycling around the city.

The hotel also supports efforts that help protect and restore the region’s natural habitats. We have contributed 460 coral fragments to support restoration efforts, dive camera and materials for a volunteer longhouse in Usukan Island, Kota Belud by working with One Ocean Empire. The hotel also supports enrichment activities for Rudy, our adopted sun bear at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, and partners with Pangolin Aware on educational workshops that build awareness of pangolin protection.
