Archipelago Hotels has added five properties across Java and Sumatra through a combination of two new openings and three rebrandings. The expansion comes as foreign tourist arrivals to Indonesia reached 7.45 million in the first half of 2026, marking a 5.71 per cent increase year-on-year.
The five properties comprise Aston Cimone Hotel & Convention Center, Aston Malang Hotel & Conference Center, Nawana by Alana, fave+ hotel Lampung, and fave+ hotel Pamanukan.
Each property features facilities tailored to its local market, including meeting spaces, dining options, family amenities, and access to regional business centres, tourist sites, and transport routes.
“The growth of tourism and the accommodation sector is creating greater demand for hotels that offer quality while remaining relevant to the character of each destination. Importantly, the Indonesian traveller is no longer choosing a hotel on price alone. Low price may attract attention, but genuine value comes from the combination of quality, comfort and an experience that feels interesting and distinctive,” said John Flood, CEO of Archipelago Hotels.
“This shift represents both an opportunity and a responsibility: to develop hotels that meet the market’s practical needs while giving guests something memorable enough to choose, enjoy and recommend.”
