“We are delighted to enhance our brand presence in Indonesia, and Sentul City’s growth over the past few years has been impressive,” said Ratnesh Verma, senior vice president, real estate and development, Asia Pacific for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. “The first Hyatt hotel opened in the Indonesian market more than 30 years ago, and we are very excited to further build on Hyatt’s strong brand equity and excellent portfolio of hotels in the country.”
Hyatt Regency Sentul City will be located less than 25 miles south of Jakarta on the outskirts of the satellite city of Bogor and will feature an outdoor pool, a spa and a host of meeting space. The 225-room hotel will be part of a mixed-use complex, which will be comprised of a retail mall and office space.
