DAFAM Hotels & Resorts will mark its entry into Sumatra with the opening of two hotels in Bandar Lampung in 2014.
The 168-room Grand Dafam Lampung will form part of a mixed-use development that offers retail and entertainment space. Facilities will include a restaurant, a spa, a fitness centre and four meeting rooms.
The second property, the 98-room Dafam Luxury Hotel, will be a three-star property featuring a spa, a karaoke lounge and two meeting rooms.
Andhy Irawan, managing director, Dafam Hotels & Resorts, said: “Lampung is a growing destination, especially for business travel. The airline traffic here is really high and average hotel occupancy in the city is 65 per cent.”
He added: “The convenient business licensing, especially in hotel development, also clearly demonstrates the government’s support to businesses.”
According to Meidy Tjahjadi, a board member of the Indonesia Hotel & Restaurant Association’s Lampung chapter, there are 10 hotels in the pipeline in Lampung, including a 300-room Mercure targeted to open next year.
