Southeast Asia Growth Unveiled @ THINC
Indonesia 2015
Mövenpick
Hotels & Resorts unveiled its ambitious expansion plans in Indonesia and
Southeast Asia at the 2015 Tourism, Hotel Investment & Networking
Conference (THINC Indonesia) in Bali on 2-3 September 2015.
The
upscale Swiss hospitality group will make its debut in Indonesia in the third
quarter of 2016, with the opening of Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran,
overlooking picturesque Jimbaran Bay in the south of Bali.
“As
the company’s first hotel in Indonesia, this is a perfect place to start,” said
Andreas Mattmüller, Chief Operating Officer for Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts
in the Middle East and Asia. “Bali is a holidaymaker’s paradise, and the
exclusive beach location of this resort with its unrestricted views of the bay
is certainly set to be hugely popular.”
He
said the hospitality management group plans further expansion in Indonesia,
with ongoing discussions about new partnerships including Jakarta, Surabaya and
Bandung. “Indonesia is a key market for our expansion in this exciting region
for the hospitality sector,” Mattmüller said.
Inspired
by traditional Balinese design and reflecting the fabled natural wonder of the
region, the upcoming Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran is an idyllic haven of
295 rooms, including six suites, amid meandering pools and lush landscaped gardens.
With
breath-taking sunset views from the rooftop lounge and hotel restaurant, the
resort also features a 500-sqm ballroom, custom-designed kids’ club, business
centre and meeting rooms, gym, library and spa, along with the Samasta Mall,
which consists of a wide collection of boutiques, restaurants, gourmet market
and a Mövenpick ice cream parlour.
Mövenpick
Resort & Spa Jimbaran is amongst eight hotels and resorts the group is
opening over the next three years in the region, with expansion also in
Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Thailand
is also a major focus, with the recent opening of Mövenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15
Bangkok, followed in the first quarter of next year by the 264-room Mövenpick
Siam Hotel Pattaya positioned for families and business meetings on Jomtien
Beach. They add to an existing portfolio of three Mövenpick hotels in Phuket
and Koh Samui, for a total of five hotels in Thailand by 2017.

Kuala Lumpur and Mövenpick Resort & Spa Kuala Terrengganu in Malaysia;

Philippines.
