Two Sudirman Jakarta, a mixed-use two-tower development poised to be amongst
the tallest skyscrapers in the country.
Located
in the heart of the central business district, the hotel will be the first
Andaz-branded urban hotel in Indonesia complementing Andaz Bali, a resort that
opened in 2021. Andaz Jakarta Sudirman will join Hyatt’s growing portfolio of
14 properties operating under the Alila, Andaz, Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt
Place and Hyatt Regency brands in Indonesia.
“We
are excited to work with PT Central Sudirman Development for the first time on
these plans to bring the imaginative and self-expressive ethos of the Andaz
brand to Jakarta,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt.
“Hyatt has had a brand presence in Indonesia for over 50 years. We are
committed to thoughtful growth of our brands as we strengthen our position in
the luxury, lifestyle, leisure and wellbeing space.”
“We
are delighted to announce our collaboration with Hyatt and the introduction of
the prestigious Andaz brand to Jakarta through our Two Sudirman Jakarta
development,” said Hendra Lubis, President Director of PT Central Sudirman
Development. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering a
world-class destination that combines luxury, innovation, and authentic local
experiences. With Andaz Jakarta Sudirman, we aim to create a landmark that not
only enhances Jakarta's skyline but also enriches the city's hospitality
offerings, setting a new standard in urban living and hospitality excellence.”
Construction
has begun for Two Sudirman Jakarta, which is centrally located along Sudirman
Street, the main street of Jakarta’s central business district. The development
will have convenient access to MRT (Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit), LRT (Light
Rapid Transit) and direct connectivity to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport
through the Airport Rail Link, enabling travelers to seamlessly get around the
city. The two towers will consist of residences, food and beverage outlets,
retail spaces and offices.
Andaz
Jakarta Sudirman will occupy the 40th to 72nd floors of Tower A,
offering sweeping city views. The hotel’s interiors, including the 198 hotel
rooms and 167 serviced apartments, will be designed by Tokyo-based Design
Studio Spin. Guests can look forward to the signature Andaz Lounge, a fitness center,
an outdoor pool, meeting rooms, an all-day dining venue, a bar, and a specialty
restaurant on the top floor.
