Swiss-Belhotel International has opened the Hotel Ciputra World Surabaya, strengthening its corporate travel presence in one of Indonesia’s most important cities. The five-star, 212-room property aims to provide the perfect balance between business and leisure in one of the city’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, and is adjacent the city’s Ciputra World Surabaya.

“Hotel Ciputra World Surabaya, managed by Swiss-Belhotel International is a stylish offering that sits proudly in a prominent part of the city,” says Swiss-Belhotel International chairman and president Gavin M. Faull. “It provides an unmatched level of luxury, personalised service and professionalism.”

Ideally suited for business travellers, the hotel has a high-end executive lounge, eight well-appointed meeting rooms, including a ballroom catering for up to 450 people, a health club, non-smoking floors and a roof-top outdoor pool deck overlooking the city. Hotel Ciputra World Surabaya’s culinary highlights include The Gallery Restaurant, an all-day dining eatery delivering the finest international cuisine via a buffet or a la carte. The Lounge is an elegant venue for small, intimate meetings, and boasts an impressive selection of tea, coffee, mocktails, cocktails, wine by the glass and a snack menu.

“Hotel Ciputra World Surabaya provides a fashionable, boutique-style atmosphere in a luxury setting,” says general manager Christiane Wasfy. “This is the reason why Hotel Ciputra World Surabaya has already become the preferred choice for business and leisure travellers in Surabaya.”

Surabaya is rapidly emerging as a five-star destination after an influx of leading international hotel brands, with the city serviced by an increased frequency in domestic and regional direct flights to Juanda International Airport.

Swiss-Belhotel International will open 20 hotels this year, with the goal of managing 250 hotels and resorts by 2020. www.hotelciputraworld.com
