six on-the-rise

destinations

Jakarta > Much like India and China before

it, Indonesia is rapidly emerging as Asia’s roaring
hotel tiger. And while the resort island of Bali
736 miles to the east remains the nation’s most
important tourism destination, Indonesia’s
capital, Jakarta, is where that tiger is now roaring
the loudest.
A massive megalopolis sprawling over 285
square miles with 10 million residents, Jakarta has
just a fraction of the hotel rooms of similarly sized
regional cities such as Hong Kong or Shanghai—
barely 20,000 in total, according to Lodging
Econometrics.
But with Jakarta visitor numbers growing
by six percent last year and the city the center of
Indonesia’s record $20 billion in foreign direct
investment, additional hotels are in near-desperate
demand. And fueling that demand is a spike in
domestic tourist numbers, says Dr. Arief Gunawan,
vice president of hotel consultancy HVS in
Jakarta, particularly corporate travelers working in
Indonesia’s booming mining and pharmaceutical
industries. “The local market is definitely growing in Jakarta faster
than the international market,” he says. That market is also expanding
much like Jakarta itself, as corporate travelers do further business in
surrounding satellite cities.
Demand for rooms is now being filled: Lodging Econometrics says 24
hotel projects with 4,821 rooms are now under construction and 36 projects
with 5,720 more rooms will soon break ground. Among the newest,
Starwood’s Luxury Collection property Keraton at the Plaza, which
opened last May, draws influence directly from its surroundings. Designed
by Singapore-based SCDA Architects and BuregaFarnell Pte. Ltd., it
features rich woods, Batik floral patterns, and an eclectic art collection,
including an intricate Javanese mural at the porte-cochère. And while
Rosewood, St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, and Four Seasons are also already in
town, a number of key global luxury brands are not yet present in Jakarta,
so there is plenty of opportunity for 5-Star growth. InterContinental,
for instance, is now building its first Jakarta property with 480 rooms;
JW Marriott recently announced a pair of new hotels with a total of 483

rooms; W Jakarta is slated to open in 2016; and
Raffles is working on a 180-room hotel in the
city’s central business district. “Overall, Jakarta
ranks third in hotel development numbers for
all of Asia, behind Shanghai but ahead of Hong
Kong,” says Lodging Econometrics senior vice
president Bruce Ford.
Still, developing new Jakarta properties
requires strong local partners—and
knowledge—as well as the patience and
prescience to navigate complex and
cumbersome local title and labor laws. “There
are still challenges around land ownership
as well as finding enough skilled labor,” says
Gunawan. And, as in the rest of Asia, “as
the economy continues to grow, that labor is
continuing to become more expensive.”
