Hilton Signs Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia

Hilton has signed a management agreement with PT. Putragaya Wahana to introduce the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Resorts property in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Scheduled to open in 2018, the 181-room Waldorf Astoria Jakarta will be the second property of the brand’s portfolio in Indonesia.

Waldorf Astoria Jakarta will be located along Jalan M.H. Thamrin road in the heart of the central business district and is approximately 32 kilometers away from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

Well served by major roadways, the hotel’s immediate vicinity is home to country headquarters of multinational corporations, government offices and embassies and is an ideal environment for corporate travelers to conduct business. In addition, the hotel offers direct access to the city's transportation network as well as convenient access to restaurants and shopping by car. The hotel’s prime location also offers excellent accessibility to the city’s finest dining places, tourist landmarks, entertainment venues as well as popular shopping malls including Plaza Indonesia, Grand Indonesia and Thamrin City for leisure travelers.

Currently set to be the tallest hotel in the city and built as a 74-story mixed-use development, Waldorf Astoria Jakarta will join the icons of the bustling city’s skyline with its striking architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.

The hotel will offer 181 guest rooms and suites sized at 60 square meters, an all-day dining restaurant, specialty restaurant, destination bar and the signature Peacock Alley lobby lounge.

The hotel will also host exclusive meetings and events within its 2,000 square-meter ballroom, several state-of-the-art meeting rooms and a business center.

An outdoor pool, health club and spa as well as a library lounge will also be part of Waldorf Astoria Jakarta’s inspirational environment.

“We are excited to partner with Hilton Worldwide in our vision to build an iconic landmark right in the heart of Jakarta’s financial district,” said Alvin Gozali, President Director, PT. Putragaya Wahana. “As a real estate developer, we’re eager to welcome one of the most luxurious and prestigious hotel brands to the capital of Indonesia. With the third busiest airport in Asia, we are confident that the development of this property will further enhance the position of Jakarta as a major gateway city.”
