IHG Signs Holiday Inn & Suites in Jakarta

InterContinental Hotels Group and PT Duta Anggada Realty have signed an agreement to develop Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada.

Located in bustling Jalan Gajah Mada in North Jakarta, the 447-room Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Madah will not only feature hotel rooms, but also serviced apartments for guests who want to book extended stays at the hotel.

The mixed-use development is opposite the LTC Glodok Mall, a short drive away from Jakarta’s Central Business district.

Clarence Tan, IHG’s Chief Operating Officer, South East Asia & Resorts, said, “Indonesia has seen very strong economic progress and industry trends have really fuelled the demand for our Holiday Inn brand. The Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada will be our first property in Indonesia to answer the increasing demand for travel in Jakarta, especially those who now need to stay for longer each time they visit.”

Indonesia is currently the largest development pipeline for IHG in South East Asia with over 20 hotels slated to open in the next few years. This includes six Holiday Inn and more than 10 Holiday Inn Express hotels to cater to the country’s growing midscale market.

Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada is expected to open in 2015.
