voco Hotels Touches Down in Bandung

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the introduction of voco hotels in Bandung, Indonesia, following a signing agreement with PT Sun Land Investama and new partner Nova Chandra. The newly constructed voco Bandung Setiabudi, featuring 162 rooms, is scheduled to open in 2025. It will be located along Jalan Dr. Setiabudi, a well-known shopping street in the area and close to various natural attractions.

As part of voco hotels, which is IHG’s premium brand, the hotel will provide a thoughtful, relaxed, and charming experience inspired by the brand’s three hallmarks: “Come On In,” “Me Time,” and “Voco Life.” This hotel will contribute to a pipeline of 80 hotels, effectively doubling the voco hotels’ estate to over 150 locations worldwide in the coming years.

Chris Anklin, Senior Director, Development, South East Asia & Korea, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Together with PT Sun Land Investama and Ibu Nova Chandra, we are delighted to introduce voco hotels to Bandung. As the fifth IHG hotel in Bandung, it will complement a well-rounded portfolio that includes InterContinental, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Hotel Indigo brands.

“The excellent addition of voco Bandung Setiabudi aligns with our plan to grow across the country and introduce the beauty and wonders of Bandung to more visitors around the globe. It also strengthens our fantastic Indonesia estate, which now includes 27 open hotels and 15 pipeline hotels across nine destinations – Bandar Lampung, Bandung, Bali, Batam, Bintan, Cikarang, Jakarta, Semarang and Surabaya.

Nova Chandra said: “Bandung is the cultural and artistic hub of Indonesia, well-loved for its cuisine, natural attractions and cool climate. The city has seen growth momentum with the recent introduction of a high-speed Jakarta-Bandung railway, making it easy for travellers to visit and explore this beautiful and vibrant destination. When it opens next year, I look forward to welcoming guests to a delightful and uplifting stay experience at voco Bandung Setiabudi.”

Edwin Suriadi, Director, PT Sun Land Investama, added: “voco Bandung Setiabudi is a wonderful new addition to Bandung. I am confident it will attract more international and domestic travellers to the area and support its growth as a tourism destination.”

The voco Bandung Setiabudi will feature 162 guest rooms designed to provide spaces for relaxation and unwinding. The hotel will include three food and beverage outlets, nine meeting rooms with over 1,000 square meters of event space, a health club, a kids’ club, and a business centre. IHG currently operates 27 hotels across seven brands in Indonesia, including the recent introduction of voco hotels in Bali, with 15 more hotels planned to open in the near future.
