It also strengthens our fantastic Indonesia estate which now includes 27 open hotels and 15 pipeline hotels across nine destinations – Bandar Lampung, Bandung, Bali, Batam, Bintan, Cikarang, Jakarta, Semarang and Surabaya.

There is growth momentum for the city with the recent introduction of a high-speed Jakarta-Bandung railway, making it easy for travellers to visit and explore this beautiful and vibrant destination. I look forward to welcoming guests to a delightful and uplifting stay experience at voco Bandung Setiabudi when it opens next year.”
