Starwood debuts Four Points Jakarta
Starwood Hotels & Resorts, with PT Thamrin Ekspress Indonesia, has announced the opening of Four Points Jakarta, Thamrin, marking the first Four Points property in the city, and the sixth in Indonesia. The hotel is part of an approximate 159,000ft2 mixed used development.
Vincent Ong, Senior Director, Asia Pacific Brand Management, Four Points, comments: “We are excited to open Four Points in Indonesia’s capital of Jakarta, one of the fastest growing cities in Southeast Asia and continuing the immense growth momentum of the brand in the region and generating a halo-opening effect.”
The hotel features 164 guestrooms, fitted with 43” LED flat-screen TVs, and an all-day dining venue, which incorporates the Best Brews programme, allowing guests to sample a range of local craft and artisan beers. For meetings and events, three comfortable, stylish meeting spaces totalling 1,615ft2 overlook the lively Thamrin business district. The hotel also offers a 24-hour fitness centre that is fully equipped with a range of high-endurance and low impact workout equipment.
Strategically placed along Jl M.H. Thamrin at Menara Topas, a major road running through the Central Business District, the hotel is located just north of the famous Selamat Datang roundabout near multinational corporate offices, embassies, megamalls, retail shops, restaurants and bars. For guests looking to immerse in the rich history and culture of Jakarta during their stay, there is Pasar Baru, the oldest shopping centre in the city that dates back to the Dutch colonial era; Sunda Kelapa, a 17th century port to see the world’s last wind-powered trading schooners, or the observation deck at Monas, a National Monument located in the centre of Freedom Square, all within 7.5 miles of the hotel.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts is rapidly growing in Indonesia alongside the increasing number of domestic and international travellers. Currently there are 19 properties across Indonesia with 15 hotels under construction. In Jakarta alone, Starwood has five properties representing the Le Méridien, Tribute Portfolio, The Luxury Collection and Sheraton brands, with six more hotels opening by 2020, including the debut of the Westin brand in August, 2016 and the Aloft brand by 2018.
