Best Western Opens Second Hotel in Jakarta

Best Western has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Indonesia with the opening of the Best Western Mega Kuningan in Jakarta.

The hotel is located in the prime business and commercial area of Mega Kuningan, close to several embassies and the offices of multinational companies.

Set in a nine-story building, the 67 guest rooms and suites all come equipped with amenities such as flat-screen televisions with international satellite channels, minibars, tea and coffee making facilities, work desks and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The hotel will also feature the Teratai Coffee Shop serving light refreshments throughout the day, a stylish outdoor swimming pool for guests to soak up the tropical sun, and a meeting room that can handle up to 46 people offering the latest audio-visual equipment.

“We are delighted to open the Best Western Mega Kuningan - our second hotel in the exciting city of Jakarta,” said BWI's Vice President of International Operations for Asia & the Middle East, Glenn de Souza. “As the capital of one of the world's most populous countries and the seat of the ASEAN Secretariat, Jakarta is becoming a highly important commercial and political hub. As the world continues to look eastwards, towards the booming Asia Pacific region, Jakarta’s presence will continue to grow.”

Best Western Mega Kuningan becomes the BWI's second hotel in Jakarta, following the existing 168-room Best Western Mangga Dua Hotel & Residence.

Over the next two years, BWI expects to open at least five new properties in Jakarta, under its midscale Best Western and luxury Best Western Premier products, expanding its citywide inventory to more than 1,200 rooms.
