15 Oct Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan Offers Comfort and Convenience amid Stylish Settings
Dynamic Locale
Situated on Sandakan’s prominent waterfront overlooking the Sandakan Bay, Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan offers a comfortable, relaxed stay for value-oriented business and leisure travelers. Part of the award-winning integrated commercial development – Sandakan Harbour Square, a joint venture between ICSD Ventures Sdn Bhd and the Sandakan Municipal Council, the hotel is located amidst the city’s new Central Business District and with many points of interest close to its doorstep, including the Central Market and Harbour Mall Sandakan shopping center. The hotel is also 20 minutes away from the Sandakan Airport.
As the second largest city in Sabah, Sandakan is fast gaining popularity as a tourist destination in South East Asia. Unique attractions include the Sandakan Heritage Trail, which is a comprehensive walk throughout the beautiful town, dotted with various heritage attractions.
The walk starts at the historical Masjid Jamek, and leads to the Pryer Memorial, a statue to honour the founder of Sandakan, William B. Pryer. If you are up for it, we recommend you to climb up the hundred steps and be rewarded at the top with a spectacular view of the entire town of Sandakan.
Another highlight of this tour is the Agnes Keith’s House which is a fascinating museum to visit for anyone who is familiar with Agnes Newton Keith’s three-part autobiography. In addition, this adventure also takes you back to 100 years ago with places such as St. Michael’s and All Angels Church, Puu Jih Shih Temple, Goddess of Mercy Temple and what remains of an old staircase which is thought to be from the Consulate building of the pre-war Chinese Government. The Sandakan Heritage Trail offers a great opportunity for you to get lost in the history and beauty that is Sandakan.
If you are a nature lover, embark on an adventure of discovery with nature and wildlife in Sandakan. Visit the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, Rainforest Discovery Centre, Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, Kinabatangan River, Gomantong Caves and Turtle Islands Park.

Out of the hotel, Sandakan is fondly known as Little Hong Kong due to the large number of Cantonese immigrants who came to Sabah from the Guangdong Province in China via Hong Kong. Over the years, the migrants made Sandakan their home and evolved Sandakan cuisine. Also known for affordable and tasty seafood due to its abundant fresh supply from the Sandakan Bay, take a visit to Kampung Buli Sim Sim, a fishing village by the city to find out!
Just next to the hotel is the Sandakan Central Market, where it houses the spacious multi storey dry market where fruits, vegetables, dried seafood produce are sold and a busy fish market behind.
