Malaysia’s budget hotel group, Tune Hotels, will open its first property in Jakarta on 12 July.
The new 168-room Tune Hotel Pasar Baru will be located close to the Mangga Dua complex and Kemayoran Expo Centre. It becomes the company’s third property in Indonesia, following two Tune hotels in Bali, and brings the group’s total global portfolio to 11 hotels.
“Jakarta has been on our radar screen for a long time now, with many of our guests consistently asking about our plans there. The wait is over and we are ecstatic with finally opening the first hotel in the capital of Indonesia. What better place than to be in the heart of where the rich and deep history of Jakarta came to be and being centrally located to food, shopping and entertainment in this large widely spread city. We look forward to being able to spread the word to our Indonesian neighbours and of course look after inbound travellers from Southeast Asia and beyond,” said Tune’s CEO, Mark Lankester.
Tune’s pay-as-you-use concept allows guests to pay for room rates and add on other amenities such as towels, toiletries, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and satellite TV.
Tune Hotels is part of Tony Fernandes’ Tune Group, which also includes AirAsia.
