ARTOTEL
Thamrin, Jakarta was awarded Indonesia’s Leading Design Hotel while it sister
property, Artotel Surabaya, was awarded the country’s Leading Lifestyle Hotel
at the 2014-15 Indonesian Travel & Tourism Awards (ITTA) held December 15
at the Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Mega Kuningan.
"This
is the second year running that ITTA has presented us with this fantastic
award, recognition we are naturally grateful for," said Artotel Corporate
PR Manager, Heni Juniarti. "And perhaps we are especially appreciative of
this recognition given our position as a purely Indonesian hotel group."
ITTA
was established in 2010 to recognise achievements in the burgeoning Indonesian
tourism industry. The organisation is comprised of professionals from various
fields with a board of advisers acting as the judging committee who, along with
online public voting, select the best hotels, resorts and villas, tourist
attractions, tour operators and specialty tourism businesses from across the
country.
The
Indonesia-based hospitality group used the occasion to announce several new
hotel properties under construction including one to open in late 2015 in the
heart of Sanur, Bali’s seaside village admired for its art galleries, surf and
scuba businesses, and seaside esplanade.
Artotel
CEO, Erastus Radjimin says that the group’s use of contemporary art and
well-chosen locations has given the Indonesian hotel brand distinct
recognition: “Using the theme of contemporary art is central to who we are
though location, location and location is also part of our ongoing strategy,
and Sanur certainly fits that plan neatly.”

"Sanur
has always been a place of artists and interesting people therefore our effort
will be to embrace the character of this charming milieu,” said Mr. Radjimin.
“We are working on ideas now that will involve community artists to help us
create the hotel’s interior art works, even the coffee cups from local ceramic
artists and uniforms from local designers will be considered.”
Scheduled
to open in the fourth quarter of 2015, Artotel Sanur, Bali will feature 89
rooms, a rooftop pool, ROCA restaurant & bar, The GYM, meeting facilities
for up to 200 people, spa, art gallery and business center. Located on Jalan
Kusuma Sari, 200 meters from the beach and esplanade that stretches the entire
length of Sanur, the neighbourhood is recognised for its colourful
international community and laid-back lifestyle.
