Swiss-Belhotel International reaches major milestone of 10,000 rooms in Indonesia

Hong Kong – Swiss-Belhotel International, the global hospitality management chain, is celebrating reaching 10,000 rooms in Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia and a key focus market for the company.

 This major milestone was achieved following the launch of a series of new Indonesian hotels in recent weeks. The 104-room Swiss-Belinn Gajah Mada Medan in North Sumatra and 150-room Swiss-Belhotel Bogor in West Java both started welcoming guests in May 2019, and the 107-room Swiss-Belhotel Serpong opened in southwest Jakarta on 1st June.

Indonesia is one of the world’s most exciting markets, with rising affluence and accessibility helping to drive tourism all over the archipelago. We look forward to unveiling even more exceptional Indonesian hotels in future, as we continue to expand our presence nationwide,” said Gavin M. Faull, Chairman and President, Swiss-Belhotel International.

The company is also rolling out its contemporary budget brand, Zest Hotels, in a series of Indonesian destinations.

 Whichever destination or brand guests choose, they will be greeted with a warm Indonesian welcome and provided with intuitive, international standard amenities.

 “From Jakarta to Jayapura, Bali to Batam, Medan to Manado, Swiss-Belhotel International’s Indonesian inventory now reaches every corner of the country. As Indonesia continues to emerge on to the international stage, our mission is to provide high-quality accommodation and graceful hospitality in every part of this exquisite archipelago,” commented Mr Emmanuel Guillard, Senior Vice President of Operations and Development - Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia, Swiss-Belhotel International.
