Starwood Hotels & Resorts has opened Sheraton Jakarta Gandaria City Hotel, which is the second Sheraton to debut in the cosmopolitan city of Jakarta, Indonesia.

“Jakarta has established itself as a thriving destination for travellers, and we are excited to respond to this rising demand by opening our second Sheraton hotel in this bustling city,” says global brand leader for Sheraton Hotels & Resorts Dave Marr. “Sheraton is diligently focused on growing the brand worldwide, with a goal to add at least 150 hotels by 2020, and opening in primary urban destinations, such as Jakarta, further solidifies Sheraton as a global hotel leader.”

Conveniently located just five kilometers from the emerging commercial hub of South Jakarta and 32 kilometers from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, the newly constructed hotel features 293 contemporary guest rooms and suites. It also houses a state-of-the-art fitness centre, an outdoor pool, and an ultra-modern Sheraton Club lounge, where Club level guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast and all-day refreshments while taking in panoramic views of the urban skyscape.

“Indonesia continues to be a key growth market in Asia Pacific and is well-suited for the expansion of the iconic Sheraton brand,” says Charlie Dang, regional vice president, Southeast Asia, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific. “The opening of Sheraton Jakarta Gandaria City Hotel will help meet the rising demand for high-caliber lodging generated by the influx of business travellers to Jakarta, the gateway to Indonesia.”

A variety of dining options are on offer in the hotel to delight any palate, including Anigre, an all-day dining restaurant serving international cuisine and local delicacies; the lobby lounge, which serves small plates, premium wines, and local craft beers; and the pastry shop Cafe Grande. www.sheraton.com/jakartagandariacity
