Execution of Hotel Sultan to Proceed Tomorrow

The execution of the court order to vacate Blok 15 of the Gelora Bung Karno complex, formerly the Hotel Sultan, will take place tomorrow, Thursday, 18 June 2026. Hendry Arisandi, Head of the Blok 15 Gelora Bung Karno Transition Team, stated that technical preparations for the execution process have commenced.

A total of 300 joint personnel are being prepared to form a team for asset recording and documentation during the eviction of the former Hotel Sultan. The team comprises members from the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Centre (PPKGBK), the Ministry of State Secretariat, the legal team, and the Public Appraisal Service Office (KJPP).

Hendry said the preparatory steps were taken due to the lack of good faith from the hotel operator, PT Indobuildco, in complying with the court order to vacate the premises. PPKGBK, together with relevant parties, is preparing an orderly mechanism in the event that items belonging to PT Indobuildco remain within the Blok 15 GBK area during the execution. Hendry confirmed that all such items will be recorded, documented, relocated, and stored neatly and securely.

“Our principle is clear: this execution is the implementation of a court order. However, at the same time, we are safeguarding the rights to the property of the previous operator,” Hendry said in a written statement cited on Wednesday, 17 June 2026. According to Hendry, in line with the court’s decision, items not affixed to the land and buildings remain the property of PT Indobuildco. The company will subsequently be given a period of up to six months to retrieve their belongings, which will be secured by PPKGBK.

The land dispute where Hotel Sultan stands has been ongoing for years. The issue escalated when the hotel owner, PT Indobuildco, failed to vacate the land even after the court-ordered warning deadline expired on Tuesday, 17 February 2026.

Kharis Sucipto, legal counsel for the Minister of State Secretariat and the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Centre (PPKGBK), explained that the Ministry of State Secretariat received a Notice of Execution of Eviction from the Central Jakarta District Court dated 19 May 2026. The notice was also sent to PT Indobuildco via registered post. According to Kharis, the nearly one-month interval provided by the court should have been sufficient for PT Indobuildco to voluntarily vacate Blok 15 GBK. Meanwhile, PPKGBK, as the new manager, also had time to prepare the transition process to ensure it is orderly, safe, and does not disrupt public interests.

Kharis stated that in its letter, the court urged the occupants or anyone who has obtained rights from Indobuildco to reside in, occupy, or possess the land and buildings to voluntarily vacate Blok 15. “There is no longer any legal reason to delay the return of this state asset,” Kharis said.
