Serena Lim, VP development, IHG South East Asia and Korea, said: “Indonesia continues to be an important growth market for IHG, and we continue to see the demand for an aspirational lifestyle experience across segments.”
The hotel is a contemporary yet uniquely Indonesian neighbourhood experience, IHG said, catering to a dynamic cross-section of travellers from around the world — who seek to work, relax, enjoy themselves, and gain local inspiration for their travels ahead.
Hotel Indigo Jakarta Pantai Indah Kapuk is a notable addition to IHG’s presence in Indonesia. The archipelago boasts the world’s fourth largest population, comprising 270 million citizens, with half of these millennials. As the first Hotel Indigo in Jakarta, the property will strengthen the brand equity of Hotel Indigo among hotel owners and developers, and increase awareness of the brand among growing numbers of domestic travellers.

Located within an exclusive development on Golf Island PIK or Kawasan Pantai Maju, the new 200-room hotel sits within a newly remixed neighbourhood, purpose-built for Jakarta’s dynamic work-play-travel lifestyle. Located just 13 kilometres from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, and 20 kilometres or a 40-minute drive from Jakarta city centre, PIK development spans the coastal districts of North Jakarta.
The development houses luxury homes, modern offices, internationally renowned education institutions and world-class leisure facilities — including a golf and country club, waterpark, luxury mall and hotels.
Opening in 2022, the hotel blends the many cultural influences of Jakarta with a modern Zen-inspired signature to its architecture and design.
The hotel’s 1,076 square-metre adaptable function room hosts up to 375 guests, catering for any occasion.
