The Shangri La Tanjung Aru is a 5-star facility located in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo's second largest city.

Some noteworthy awards include the Top 25 luxury hotels in Malaysia – Trip Advisor travellers' choice award, and the Top 25 relaxation / spa hotels in Malaysia. The Shangri La Borneo has also received a number of awards that recognise its exceptional dedication to sustainability and environmental performance.
