Hilton has announced the signing of its first hotel in Batam, the Hilton Garden Inn Batam City Centre, set to open in 2028. Developed by PT Sabang Raya Investama, the 199-room hotel will be strategically located in Batam's core, offering easy access to commercial and retail centres, ferry terminals to Singapore and Malaysia, and Hang Nadim International Airport.
The new hotel aims to capitalise on Batam's growing reputation as a business and leisure destination, driven by its proximity to Singapore and Malaysia and increasing demand from corporate travel, meetings, and events. Maria Ariizumi, vice president of Development for South East Asia & Australasia, noted, “Batam continues to grow as an important business and leisure destination, supported by its close proximity to Singapore and Malaysia, strong connectivity and expanding visitor economy.”
Hilton Garden Inn Batam City Centre will feature a variety of amenities, including an all-day dining restaurant, bar, fitness centre, swimming pool, and over 900 square metres of meeting and event space. The hotel will cater to a diverse range of travellers, from business and leisure visitors to those seeking wellness and medical-related stays.
This development marks a significant step in Hilton's expansion in Indonesia, a rapidly growing hospitality market in Asia Pacific. The company currently operates 18 hotels in the country, with 16 more in the pipeline. Hilton Garden Inn Batam City Centre will also participate in Hilton Honours, the brand's loyalty programme, offering members exclusive benefits
