Best Western Signs Second Hotel in Jakarta

Best Western International has signed a new hotel in Indonesia.

Located in the bustling business hub of Tangerang in the Greater Jakarta area and set to open in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Best Western Serpong will have 96 rooms, including 12 suites, with in-room amenities that will include a flat-screen LCD TV with satellite channels, free Wi-Fi, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities and a private balcony.

Facilities at the seven-storey property will include a fitness centre, outdoor swimming pool and two F&B outlets – the Lotus Restaurant and Edelweiss Bar & Lounge.

The Best Western Serpong will be Best Western International's second hotel in the Greater Jakarta area, joining the Best Western Mangga Dua Hotel & Residence.

The company plans to add at least seven more properties in the Greater Jakarta area by 2015. Overall, its Indonesian portfolio is expected to increase from five hotels to close to 25 hotels in the coming years.

“We are currently undertaking an unprecedented period of expansion in Indonesia, which will see us more than quadruple our collection of hotels in the country over the next few years," said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International’s Vice President International Operations – Asia & the Middle East.
