Indonesia: Japanese hotel operator Fujita Kanko Inc. will open its first overseas serviced apartment complex in Indonesia.
The seven-storey Isoras Cikarang has 214 units and will tis week in the industrial area of Lippo Cikarang in West Java province, about 35 kilometres east of the capital Jakarta. It will cater to Japanese business travellers and expatriates.
The building will offer three types of units ranging from 32 to 64 square metres.
The complex will also feature an open-air public bath and a community space with table tennis and karaoke facilities. Japanese-speaking staff will be available 24 hours a day.
Units will be available for single-night stays or longer.
“The height of furniture such as sofas and beds found in overseas serviced-apartments is generally taller than in Japan. By providing furniture of a lower height, Isoras has realised the comfort associated with a Japanese room,” said Masayuki Shinohara, president of PT. Fujita Kanko Indonesia.
The company aims to seal long-term contracts for 80 per cent of the rooms by the end of the year.
