Moevenpick to open its first hotel in Indonesia

Mövenpick will open its first hotel in Indonesia at Jimbaran Bay, in the south of Bali, in 2014.

Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran will offer 270 rooms, including 70 suites, and 70 branded residences.

As well as an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop lounge and lobby café, the resort will include a 500-metre-square ballroom, business centre, kids club, library and a spa facility. A boutique retail area will also feature a range of exclusive shops.

Adnreas Mattmüller, COO for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts in the Middle East and Asia, said: “Bali is a holidaymaker’s paradise and the exclusive beach location of this resort with its unrestricted views of the bay is certain to be hugely popular. As the company’s first hotel in Indonesia this is a perfect place to start.”

Soegianto Nagaria, president director of PT Hotelindo Permata Jimbaran, which owns the resort, added: “We are delighted Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts will be managing this outstanding property. We are confident that the combination of warm Swiss hospitality and this idyllic setting will be a huge success.”

The Jimbaran resort is one of nine new hotels set to be opened by Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts across Asia by 2014. It already operates two hotels in Thailand, two in Vietnam and one each in India, Philippines and Singapore.
