Borneo itself is relatively low on boutique style hotels but your Borneo holiday may include a visit to Peninsular Malaysia where there are some superb character hotels throughout, especially in Langkawi, Penang and Kuala Lumpur.
There are some renovated colonial hotels and buildings as well as more modern places, created with style and panache, and some lovely luxury options too.
Experience Travel Group work independently with all of these hotels and can give you firsthand advice. We'll also pass on the superb deals we get access to as exclusive partners.
