IHG signs Holiday Inn’s first urban beachfront resort in Indonesia
Being touted by some as the “New Jakarta City”, it has many substantial projects in development, including the largest mall in Indonesia, a range of F&B establishments, a sports centre, an Islamic financial district, a 60ha greenbelt and a mangrove conservatory.
Ipeng Widjojo, Business and Development Director, Agung Sedayu Group commented, “We have the vision to develop world-class destination concepts to promote the wonders and potential of Indonesia. Infrastructures are also principal aspects in PIK2, which is why we plan to open the PIK2 Interchange Toll in Q4 2023. IHG has impressed us with their innovative thinking and ideas and has proven to be a great partner with the upcoming Holiday Inn Resort PIK2 White Sand Beach and the Hotel Indigo Jakarta Pantai Indah Kapuk. We will work together to develop hotel experiences that set the benchmark for Indonesian tourism.”
IHG continues to expand in Indonesia with 25 opened hotels across its Six Senses, InterContinental, Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express brands, with 11 properties in the pipeline, including the brand debut of Kimpton and Regent, both in Bali, and Hotel Indigo in Bintan.
Rajit Sukumaran, Managing Director, South East Asia and Korea, IHG said, “We have eight opened Holiday Inn properties in Indonesia with a further three in the pipeline, including Holiday Inn Resort PIK2 White Sand Beach. We are confident that the brand will continue to thrive and grow in the cities and tertiary markets across the country. IHG has beautiful Holiday Inn resorts across the region, including Indonesia, Maldives, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
