INTERCONTINENTAL Hotels Group (IHG) has launched Jakarta’s first Holiday Inn Express hotel, the 101-room Holiday Inn Express Jakarta Thamrin.
The hotel is located in Jakarta’s central business district, a one-hour drive from Soekarno Hatta International Airport and minutes away from major MNC headquarters, banks, embassies and government offices. It is also within walking distance of famous shopping malls such as Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia.
Clarence Tan, COO, South-east Asia and Resorts, IHG, said: “The New Year has kicked-off to a great start with the opening of Holiday Inn Express Jakarta, making it the second Holiday Inn Express to open in Indonesia in the last three months. With 12 more Holiday Inn Express hotels in the pipeline, Indonesia will continue to be an important growth market for us over the next few years.
“Jakarta sees more than two million visitors each year and is known as one of the region’s top shopping destinations. With the new hotel situated on the city’s busiest road, this makes it the smart choice for travellers wanting to stay close to major business hubs and tourist attractions.”
Guests can expect free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, a free Express Start Breakfast or Grab & Go option, and a self-service business centre and laundry room.
Holiday Inn Express Jakarta Thamrin is the fifth Holiday Inn Express in the region after openings in Semarang (TTG Asia e-Daily, November 11, 2013), Bangkok (TTG Asia e-Daily, September 19, 2013), Phuket (TTG Asia e-Daily, February 19, 2013) and Singapore (TTG Asia e-Daily, July 17, 2013).
