Best Western International has opened its first hotel on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
Set in the city of Makassar, Best Western Plus Makassar Beach has 162 rooms, including nine suites. The hotel offers a swimming pool, the Chill In Restaurant, and De Corner Lounge, as well as 12 meeting rooms.
“As Indonesia emerges as an economic power, trade and tourism is spreading out into the country’s many outlying islands and provinces,” says Glenn de Souza, Best Western’s vice president of international operations for Asia and the Middle East. “As the 11th largest island in the world and home to outstanding cultural and ecological diversity, Sulawesi is becoming a new regional center of trade and tourism.”
Best Western Plus Makassar Beach joins the brand’s existing portfolio of 12 hotels across Indonesia, including locations in Bali, Jakarta, Semarang, and Malang. Following the Sulawesi launch, Best Western also plans to expand into other areas of the Indonesian archipelago, including Sumatra and Kalimantan.
