The Group’s expansion in Indonesia will target first- and second-tier cities in Indonesia, focussing on the business and leisure traveller segments, according to The Jakarta Post.

China-based hotel management Plateno Group will be expanding across Indonesia with plans to open 15 hotels in the next five years, pending business discussions.

The Group’s expansion in Indonesia will target first- and second-tier cities, focussing on the business and leisure traveller segments, according to The Jakarta Post.

"We consider Indonesia a very important market for us; it’s one of our priorities in terms of business expansion in South-east Asia," said Plateno Group brand and public relations manager, Jimmy Zhang during a media gathering in Jakarta.

He added that the Indonesian expansion would not be as rapid as in China, where the Group currently owns more than 3,800 properties since its founding in 2005.

Plateno currently operates two hotels in Bali and Jatinegara in East Jakarta under the brands 7 Days Premium Kuta and 7 Days Premium Jatinegara
Upcoming plans will target Java and Batam in Riau Islands, ranging from budget to four-star hotels. 

Separately, Hilton and Plateno Hotels Group have signed for a 200th hotel in Greater China as part of a master licence agreement, first announced in 2014.

Hampton by Hilton Dalian Labor Park hotel becomes the 200th signing, with nearly 30 having already opened across China. Since launch, a new hotel has been signed on average every six days, with sites located across 120 first and second-tier cities, provincial capitals and popular tourism destinations.

Alan Watts, president, Hilton Asia Pacific, said, “Our partnership with Plateno, has contributed to one in three of all hotels under construction in China carrying a Hilton brand.”
