Hyatt Hotels Corp. is planning its sixth  Hyatt-branded hotel in Indonesia, slated to open in 2017. A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with PT Eka Ilalang Suryadinamika for a Hyatt Regency hotel in Sentul City, Indonesia.

Ratnesh Verma, senior vice president, real estate and development, Asia Pacific for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement: “We are delighted to enhance our brand presence in Indonesia, and Sentul City’s growth over the past few years has been impressive. 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.”

Located on the outskirts of the satellite city of Bogor, less than 25 miles south of Jakarta, the 255-room Hyatt Regency Sentul City hotel will be part of a mixed-use complex. The complex will feature a 240,000-square-foot mall and 212,000 square feet of office space.

“Given the strong Hyatt brand name and the hotel’s ideal location, we believe that the new Hyatt Regency Sentul City will attract business and leisure travelers from across the region. We are thrilled to broaden our relationship with Hyatt, and feel confident that the new project will create mutually beneficial results,” said Reina Kumala Kwee, President Director of PT Eka Ilalang Suryadinamika.

Hyatt Regency Sentul City will feature numerous amenities including an outdoor pool, a spa and meeting space. The hotel is scheduled to open in 2017 and will join the other five existing Hyatt-branded hotels in Indonesia: Grand Hyatt Bali, Hyatt Regency Bandung, Grand Hyatt Jakarta, Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta and Hyatt Regency Bali. The latter is currently under renovation and is set to be rebranded from Bali Hyatt.
