SOFITEL Luxury Hotels has signed a hotel management agreement with real estate company Farpoint, subsidiary of Gunung Sewu Group, to operate the first Sofitel So in Indonesia.
Sofitel So Jakarta will come up within The Hundred, an integrated mixed-used development which includes residential apartments, offices and a public green urban plaza, in the heart of Mega Kuningan.
Work on The Hundred is anticipated to commence this year and finish in 2018.
Gerard Guillouet, COO for Accor Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, said: “It’s a pleasure for us to announce this collaboration with Farpoint, a company that will bring its three decades of real estate experience into making the future of Sofitel So Jakarta a great success. We are excited about this project and look forward to working with Farpoint in making this chic, contemporary hotel a flagship for the Sofitel So label in the region.”
The Hundred comprises a 50-storey residential and hotel tower as well as a 24-storey office tower straddled by a seven-storey podium with a grand arched gateway which leads into Mega Kuningan.
The podium consists of a grand ballroom, hotel amenities and a sky pool bar and lounge on the upper levels as well as a range of gastronomic venues on the ground level leading into the green plaza.
Sofitel Luxury Hotels will open Sofitel So Singapore in May this year (TTG Asia e-Daily, March 18, 2014), while Accor has said it will be taking over management of Sentosa Resort & Spa (TTG Asia e-Daily, March 28, 2014) and TTG Asia e-Daily understands this is likely to become a Sofitel eventually.
