Conrad Hotels Announces Management Agreement for New Luxury Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia
Monday August 8, 8:00 am ET


BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. & JAKARTA, Indonesia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2005--Conrad® Hotels, the luxury brand of the Hilton Family of Hotels, reached an agreement on July 22nd with Indonesian company PT. Majumakmur Arthasentosa to manage the new Conrad Jakarta. This purpose-built, luxurious 320-room and suite hotel, including 50 fully-serviced Conrad Residences, will be built as part of the city's Sudirman Plaza, a multi-use complex located in the heart of Jakarta's commercial and business district on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman in Jakarta's Golden Triangle.

"We are excited to work with PT. Majumakmur Arthasentosa to operate and manage a Conrad hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia's dynamic capital," said Dieter Huckestein, chairman & CEO for Conrad Hotels, and president of the Hilton Global Alliance. "An outstanding location -- in the heart of Jakarta's business and financial district -- combined with Conrad's ability to cater to the discerning business and leisure traveller proves a powerful combination that will contribute to the success of the hotel, its residences and the overall multi-use development."

Scheduled to open in 2008, the Conrad Jakarta will feature luxuriously appointed guest rooms, deluxe suites and presidential suites in addition to six restaurants, a fully-equipped health club, two tennis and squash courts, a beautifully-landscaped roof garden with a swimming pool and pool-side al fresco dining. An Asian-themed spa offering a full range of therapeutic treatments incorporating age-old recipes and formulas handed down by generations of Asian women will be available. The spa's menu of treatments will emphasize spiritual well-being and natural curatives designed to soothe and nurture the mind, body and spirit. The hotel's extensive banquet and meeting facilities will feature 20 flexible meeting rooms totalling more than 2,000 square meters of ballroom and meeting space. A number of these meeting facilities will feature direct access to a private executive lounge, offering guests a seamless meeting experience. Other proposed features of Conrad Jakarta's banquet and meetings rooms include cutting-edge audio-visual and telecommunications facilities along with comprehensive multi-media applications and a fully-staffed and technologically equipped business center. The hotel's guest rooms will feature high-speed internet access and wireless connectivity to the internet (Wi Fi) will also be available throughout the hotel's lobby and public areas.

The opening of a second Conrad hotel in Indonesia, after the successful opening of the Conrad Bali Beach Resort & Spa in March 2004 creates an ideal opportunity of a dual-destination on Indonesia's archipelago of islands, offering guests a luxury option in Indonesia's bustling capital city of Jakarta, located on the island of Java and a beachside resort and spa destination on the renowned island of Bali.

The Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) is a fully integrated mixed-use development that merges commercial, residential, hospital and retail elements along with public facilities of world-class standards, all within a 45-hectare site in the South Jakarta District -- offering unparalleled convenience and benefit to its business tenants, hotel guests and apartment residents. Apart from Conrad Jakarta, when fully completed, the SCBD will feature 60,000 square meters of prime shopping experience -- including an expansive supermarket, upscale retail stores and themed restaurants -- 500 fully equipped and furnished serviced apartments, a state-of-the-art hospital, 200,000 square meters of commercial office space housed in three currently operational office towers, a golf driving range and over 700,000 square meters of underground parking.

Would like to point out that this project is about half the scale of the original Conrad that was already half built in 1998 but is now replaced by PACIFIC PLACE. I wonder where in SCBD this development will be located, but here's the OLD development:


"This prestigious development comprises four components ; hotel, apartments, retail and office. The Conrad International Hotel has 625 luxury rooms, 60 suites, 2 presidential suites and a full range of first class facilities. Conrad International Plaza offers a luxury shopping experience to satisfy Jakarta’s high income shoppers. The Conrad International Residence has 138 serviced apartements, all fully furnished and fitted out. The two office towers contain 36 tenant-able floors each."

Comparing it to new development which has 320 rooms and 50 serviced apartments. Still, great news for Jakarta hotel market and skyscraper fans!!!!

Guys, it seems that this project belongs to Tan Kian...the 2004 Q4 Colliers property report mentioned that Dua Mutiara group (TK) is developing "Conrad apartment" in SCBD...

Don't be surprised that Tan Kian has some connection with the new JHI. The Bali property actually belongs to one of Tan Kian's acquaintance as well. Will this replace Ritz Carlton at Pacific Place. I was told that it is impossible for the Ritz to grant the 2nd property to the same city.

Interesting, but I find this scenario (Conrad replacing Ritz in Pacific Place) quite unlikely...I think it will be an entirely new building.

Well, these pics don't really belong here since these are the old design renderings for the Conrad (now Pacific Place phase 1),but they're interesting anyway.
