InterContinental Hotels Group fortifies presence in Bali

March 10th, 2008

Indonesia’s most popular tourist destination, Bali, should look forward to the continued expansion of InterContinental Hotels Group over the next two years.

Joining the award-winning InterContinental Bali Resort at Jimbaran Bay is the sister property InterContinental Bali Sanur Beach Resort, as well as the introduction of the Holiday Inn brand to Bali in Tuban.
Jan Smits, CEO, Southern Asia and Korea, IHG Asia Pacific, notes that “Bali is one of Asia’s most popular destinations, attracting high-spending leisure travellers, corporate meeting attendees as well as families.�

Scheduled to open in late 2009, the InterContinental Bali Sanur Beach Resort will develop seven seaside hectares of Sanur, a serene village in Bali. The resort has been designed by the award-winning firm eco-id, interior design by Hadiprana and managed on behalf of PT Restu Maharani.

The resort places 104 rooms and suites within low rise cluster pavilions, as well as 54 private villas that are the height of decadence, boasting private pools, outdoor showers and private courtyards.

The unsurpassed luxury continues with the range of facilities that the resort offers, through the lavish Spa InterContinental and beachfront dining.

Three hectares of lush Balinese Gardens surround the Holiday Inn Resort on Tuban that is expected to re-open later this year. This 200 room property, managed by IHG for PT Menara Perdana, is undergoing a myriad of renovation in order to parallel Holiday Inn Resort standards, and will feature a Tea Tree Spa, direct beach access and a kids club.

Smits continued, noting that “IHG already manages a successful InterContinental resort on Jimbaran Bay and with these two new hotels, our guests can look forward to more choice of accommodations across two brands in three unique locations.�
