As part of voco hotels, IHG’s fastest-growing premium brand, the hotel will offer the brand’s thoughtful, unstuffy and charming experience inspired by three voco brand hallmarks – ‘come on in’, ‘me time’, and ‘voco life’ and join a pipeline of 80 hotels that will double the size of the voco hotels estate to over 150 hotels globally* in the next few 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 within the city.

“The wonderful 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. There is growth momentum for the city 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. I look forward to welcoming guests to a delightful and uplifting stay experience at voco Bandung Setiabudi when it opens next year.”

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.”
