ROSEWOOD Hotels & Resorts is marking its entry into Indonesia with a first property in Bali in 2017, with a second to follow in Jakarta the year after.
Belonging to Indonesia’s prominent developer Ciputra Group, Rosewood Tanah Lot, Bali will be located near Lot temple on Bali’s West coast.
Occupying an area of 12ha, the ultra-luxury property will feature 80 suites, 27 villas and 29 Rosewood Residences for sale.
Asked why Rosewood was entering Bali with an ultra-luxury product at a time of market oversupply, Symon Bridle, COO of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, told TTG Asia e-Daily at ILTM Asia last week: “Is there ever good timing? I think the reality is if your brand is right, the offer is right, you will find the market you want.”
He said a new destination, like the area close to Tanah Lot, could appeal to travellers looking for a slightly off-the-beaten-track address that is still not too far away from the popular areas.
The second hotel, Rosewood Jakarta, will be located in the Ciputra World Jakarta mixed-use development in the Indonesian capital’s CBD. It will offer 200 guestrooms and 160 Rosewood Residences for sale.
These developments in Indonesia are part of the group’s plan to operate 50 hotels by 2020.
Following the brand’s arrival in China with the opening of Rosewood Beijing in October 2014, the company will manage the 148-room Rosewood Phnom Penh and Rosewood Phuket, which will have 80 villas and 32 residences in 2016, with a property in Bangkok to open in 2017.
Two more properties in China, the 251-room Rosewood Guangzhou and 229-room Rosewood Sanya, will arrive in 2017.
