InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and PT Hotel Dago Pakar have signed a management agreement for the new InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar hotel in Bandung, Indonesia.

Slated to open in 2014, the new hotel is located in the city’s Dago Pakar development, to the north-east of the city centre, which includes commercial, retail and residential areas as well as an international school and botanical gardens.

The new hotel, which is part of the master-planned city development, has 204 rooms and 19 villas that offer views of the greens of the 18-hole Mountain View Golf Course as well as Bandung city.

InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar will feature one of the largest ballrooms in Bandung, making it a preferred venue for events and meetings, along with an all-day dining and a speciality restaurant.

PT Hotel Dago Pakar director Purnawan Suriadi said that the InterContinental brand 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," Suriadi added.
