Meliá Hotels International expands its footprint in Indonesia with the signing of Meliá Sentul Resort & Convention Center

Meliá Hotels International, the leading hotel company in Spain, has just announced the signing of a new and exclusive five-star hotel to be located in the vibrant enclave of Sentul, West Java, Indonesia. Meliá Sentul Resort & Convention Center will operate under the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand, becoming the group's seventh hotel in Indonesia and its first in Sentul.

Just an hour's drive from Jakarta, Sentul is located in the Bogor region of West Java, one of the area's most attractive emerging destinations. Nestled among rolling hills of vibrant green and boasting a cool climate, its balanced blend of nature and modernity appeals to both residents seeking a weekend getaway and travelers looking to admire exceptional scenery while enjoying top-notch amenities. The area offers stunning landscapes, hiking trails, nearby waterfalls, and family-friendly attractions such as the Sentul International Circuit and JungleLand Adventure Theme Park, one of the largest in Indonesia.

Boosted by excellent connectivity and modern infrastructure, such as the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), the area has also become a thriving residential and business hub.

In this privileged setting, Meliá Sentul Resort & Convention Center will offer its guests a fully integrated experience. Its culinary offerings will combine an elegant all-day international restaurant with unique specialty spaces, complemented by a sophisticated rooftop bar and a lounge perfect for enjoying evenings and nights in a relaxed and contemporary atmosphere. The hotel will also feature an outdoor pool, a fully equipped gym, and a spa designed for well-being and relaxation. Families will have access to dedicated facilities such as the Kids Club, designed to make every stay comfortable, enriching, and memorable for visitors of all ages.

The complex will also offer a convention center for meetings and events, including a grand 1,160 m² ballroom and 15 meeting rooms totaling 1,640 m², positioning it as one of the region's most attractive destinations for corporate gatherings, conferences, and special celebrations. The combination of premium services, versatile spaces, and an exceptional natural setting creates a perfect balance between business and leisure.

Strengthening Meliá's presence in Indonesia

“Meliá Sentul Resort & Convention Center represents a significant milestone in our expansion strategy in Indonesia,” says Ignacio Martín, Managing Director Asia Pacific of Meliá Hotels International. “Sentul is a destination with enormous potential, where natural beauty meets modern, well-planned development. We are delighted to continue growing alongside our trusted partners and to present a hotel designed to raise the bar for hospitality in the region.”

This agreement also consolidates the collaborative relationship that Meliá Hotels International has maintained for years with its strategic partners Saraswanti Group, owners of the INNSiDE by Meliá Yogyakarta hotel - which is also managed by the company - reinforcing a shared vision of sustainable growth and hotel excellence in the country's main destinations.

For his part, Noegroho Hari Hardono, CEO of the Saraswanti Group, expressed his gratitude to Meliá Hotels International for the trust and commitment demonstrated in this collaboration. He emphasized that this alliance reflects the shared vision between Saraswanti and Meliá to develop real estate projects aligned with international standards and generate long-term value for all stakeholders.

Bogat Agus Riyono, Chief Operating Officer of the Saraswanti Group's Real Estate Division, stated: 'Meliá Hotels International is widely recognized for its strong global reputation and proven expertise in hotel management across numerous international markets. We are confident that this collaboration will generate significant value for both parties and further strengthen Saraswanti's position in the real estate sector.'

With this new agreement, Meliá Hotels International reaffirms its commitment to Indonesia, bringing its renowned Mediterranean warmth and service excellence to one of the most dynamic areas of West Java.
