Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with PT Central Sudirman Development, for the first Andaz hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. Slated to open in early 2028, the hotel will be an integral part of Two Sudirman Jakarta, a mixed-use two-tower development poised to be amongst the tallest skyscrapers in the country.

Located in the heart of the central business district, the hotel will be the first Andaz-branded urban hotel in Indonesia complementing Andaz Bali, a resort that opened in 2021. Andaz Jakarta Sudirman will join Hyatt’s growing portfolio of 14 properties operating under the Alila, Andaz, Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Place and Hyatt Regency brands in Indonesia.

“We are excited to work with PT Central Sudirman Development for the first time on these plans to bring the imaginative and self-expressive ethos of the Andaz brand to Jakarta,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “Hyatt has had a brand presence in Indonesia for over 50 years. We are committed to thoughtful growth of our brands as we strengthen our position in the luxury, lifestyle, leisure and wellbeing space.”

“We are delighted to announce our collaboration with Hyatt and the introduction of the prestigious Andaz brand to Jakarta through our Two Sudirman Jakarta development,” said Hendra Lubis, President Director of PT Central Sudirman Development. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering a world-class destination that combines luxury, innovation, and authentic local experiences. With Andaz Jakarta Sudirman, we aim to create a landmark that not only enhances Jakarta’s skyline but also enriches the city’s hospitality offerings, setting a new standard in urban living and hospitality excellence.”

Construction has begun for Two Sudirman Jakarta, which is centrally located along Sudirman Street, the main street of Jakarta’s central business district. The development will have convenient access to MRT (Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit), LRT (Light Rapid Transit) and direct connectivity to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport through the Airport Rail Link, enabling travelers to seamlessly get around the city. The two towers will consist of residences, food and beverage outlets, retail spaces and offices.

Andaz Jakarta Sudirman will occupy the 40^th to 72^nd floors of Tower A, offering sweeping city views. The hotel’s interiors, including the 198 hotel rooms and 167 serviced apartments, will be designed by Tokyo-based Design Studio Spin. Guests can look forward to the signature Andaz Lounge, a fitness center, an outdoor pool, meeting rooms, an all-day dining venue, a bar, and a specialty restaurant on the top floor.
