First Best Western Premier Hotel Opens in Java, Indonesia
(Jakarta, 08 August 2009) Best Western
International – The World’s Largest Hotel Chain® - has
announced the soft opening of Best Western Premier Solo
in Central Java in mid-August 2009. Best Western Premier
Solo will be Best Western’s first premier brand hotel in
Solo-Java, Indonesia, the city noted for its two royal
houses of Mangkunegara & Kasunanan.
The hotel is located 20 minutes
from Adi Sumarno International Airport and
neighbors prominent local attractions, shopping
centers and corporate offices. Inspired by
Indonesia’s distinctive architectural and
cultural traditions, the hotel offers 148
sumptuously-appointed guestrooms that emphasize
personal comfort, privacy and value.
The hotel is complemented by a full array of
premier facilities, including a stylish swimming
pool, fitness center and international standard
spa. Business guests are well served by a
business center, meeting rooms, conferencing and
banqueting facilities with internet connectivity
throughout the resort on demand.
“With its unique history and character, Solo is the
perfect city to introduce a hotel of the quality of Best
Western Premier Solo, that blends Indonesian traditions
with 21st century style and comfort,” noted Glenn de
Souza, BWI Vice President International Operations –
Asia.
“Looking at Indonesia altogether, we see many attractive
opportunities for Best Western Premier, especially in
light of the government’s strong support for tourism and
more low-cost air carriers, both domestic and
international, extending their networks here,” the
executive added.
Optimally set in the heart of the city, Best Western
Premier Solo features use of refined traditional
Javanese batik, the world-famous fabric that is
eloquently emblematic of the region’s culture and
philosophy. Traditional Javanese batik colors of indigo,
chocolate and white symbolize the three major Hindu Gods
Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva. Certain patterns can be worn
only by royals.
“Best Western Premier Solo is specially designed for
guests who appreciate a unique experience away from home
combined with all the luxuries of life and the warmth of
genuine hospitality,” said Jusuf Sawirin, Chief Area
Officer of Area Development Indonesia.
“The hotel specializes in quality accommodation with the
consistent standards and services that are demanded by
both domestic and international travelers to Solo and we
are proud to add this unique and beautiful property to
our steadily expanding portfolio of prime hotels in key
destinations throughout Indonesia,” the executive
concluded.
