The new hotel is also located just seven kilometres from Husein Sastranegara International Airport and under three kilometres from the commercial hub.

Purnawan Suriadi, Director, PT Hotel Dago Pakar, said, "The reputation and calibre of the InterContinental brand means that it is the perfect management partner for a luxury destination for both business and leisure travellers. IHG has a proven track record of success in quality and guest satisfaction both internationally and in the region, which is in line with what we want to achieve within the Dago Pakar development."
