INDONESIAN capital city Jakarta is set to welcome St Regis Jakarta in 2016, with Starwood Hotels & Resorts and Rajawali Group having broken ground on the property on Monday.
The all-suite hotel will reportedly feature 125 units (TTG Asia Online Editor’s Picks), located in Jakarta’s central business district along Jalan Gatot Subroto, near Jakarta’s Sudirman Central Business District and the Mega Kuningan area.
It forms part of a 141,000m2 mixed-use development, encompassing a 47-storey office tower as well as a special F&B and retail component.
Design plays an important part in the development, with design powerhouses such as Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, Alexandra Champalimaud and Bill Bensley coming on board for the project.
The groundbreaking accompanies a 20-year strategic partnership that Rajawali has forged with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, following the recent success of the St Regis Bali Resort.
