Most hotels don't put a monkey on the front of their brochure: but then most hotels aren't at the gateway to the largest orang utan sanctuary in the world, Sepilok, where a conservation program encourages orang utans to come and go as they please. (Yes, the proper way to spell the name is with a space like Orang Utan. Or at least according to this zoo.)

They don't come as far as the Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu hotel, despite the enquiring orang utan faces in their advertising. This hotel is right in downtown Kota Kinabalu, a 2.5 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur and the perfect base for exploring some great parts of Malaysia.

KK's the capital of the state of Sabah, on the northern end of the island of Borneo. Le Meridien boasts of its proximity to the beauty of Sabah, "the Land Below the Wind", and views across KK and the South China Sea. Not only that, they're close to beaches, golfing, shopping and "soft adventure." Er...what exactly do they mean by that: rock-climbing with cushions?
