Century manages more hotels

JAKARTA (JP): Hong Kong-based hotel chain Century
International Hotels will manage three more hotels in Indonesia,
the hotel chain announced yesterday.

Two of the three hotels, which are all owned by PT Usaha
Pariwisata Sukses, are located in Bali -- Hotel Bali Saphir in
Kuta and Hotel Mabisa in Legian -- while the other one is Hotel
Yogya International located in Yogyakarta.

Century's chief executive officer Brian Deeson said the names
of the hotels had been changed to Century Saphir Bali, Century
Mabisa Inn Bali and Century Saphir Yogyakarta.

Deeson told Antara news agency that though times were tough in
Indonesia, Century International took on the challenge because it
was confident that there would be an upturn in the country's
economy in the near future.

The move brings Century's hotels in Indonesia to a total of
six, with two more under development.

Century International currently manages three other hotels in
Indonesia, including Hotel Atlet Century Park and Imperial
Century Resort, both in Jakarta, and Hotel Century Menado in
North Sulawesi.

The group manages 27 hotels in seven Asian countries under its
corporate umbrella. (gis)
