The key cities of expansion include Batam, Bali, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Bengkulu, Tangerang, Lampung, and Central Kalimantan. The hotel products span across multiple segments—from luxury and upper upscale brands such as MĀUA by Swiss-Belhotel and Grand Swiss-Belhotel, to midscale offerings under Swiss-Belinn and Swiss-Belcourt, and economy positioning through Swiss-Belexpress. These developments cover the increasing market demands across leisure, corporate, and MICE segments in the Indonesian markets.

Gavin M. Faull, Chairman and President of Swiss-Belhotel International, stated: “Indonesia remains a cornerstone of our global vision. The continued trust from our partners and our multi-brand approach allow us to deliver solutions that are relevant, sustainable, and aligned with local market dynamics.”

Ilkin Ilyaszade, Senior Vice President of Operations and Development, Indonesia, emphasized, “Our focus remains on disciplined execution—ensuring operational efficiency, consistent service delivery, and long-term value creation for our partners across Indonesia.”

Looking ahead, Swiss-Belhotel International remains focused on strategic, quality-led expansion, with a clear target of surpassing 530 operating properties by 2033.
