The development will also house approximately 740m2 of dedicated event and conference facilities, consisting of a ballroom alongside several meeting rooms.

PT Raka Eka Makmur president director Ronny Pallar said: “We are pleased to partner with IHG to introduce Hotel Indigo to Yogyakarta.

“As the cultural heart of Java, Yogyakarta is renowned for its rich heritage, artistic traditions and vibrant creative community, making it a natural fit for Hotel Indigo’s neighbourhood-inspired approach.

“Together with IHG, we look forward to creating a hotel that captures the spirit of Yogyakarta and enables guests to experience the people, culture and stories that make this destination truly unique.”

This development represents IHG’s entry into the city of Yogyakarta while broadening its Luxury & Lifestyle footprint in Indonesia.

The group currently oversees three operational Hotel Indigo sites across the country, with six additional properties under development in locations including Bali, Jakarta, and Lombok.

Overall, IHG manages 35 hotels across nine distinct brands in Indonesia, supported by a pipeline of 13 future openings.

IHG Hotels & Resorts South East Asia & Korea Development senior director Chris Anklin said: “We are delighted to bring the Hotel Indigo brand to Yogyakarta, a destination renowned for its rich cultural heritage, creative energy and enduring appeal among domestic and international travellers.

“As we expand our Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio across Indonesia, we see growing opportunities in destinations with distinctive local character and authentic stories.

“Yogyakarta is a natural fit for Hotel Indigo, a brand inspired by the character and spirit of the neighbourhoods it calls home.”
