Radisson hotel in Yogya

YOGYAKARTA (JP): A new four-star hotel will open here soon, in spite of fiercer competition in the hotel industry in the province.

The 129-room Radisson Plaza Hotel Yogyakarta will be located on a 2.3-hectare plot of land, formerly the site of the Colombo swimming pool. The hotel will have its soft opening in July.

The new hotel will be the second in Indonesia to be managed by the worldwide Minneapolis-based Radisson Hotels International of the Uniter States. The first Indonesian Radisson hotel was opened in Surabaya, East Java, in 1993. Another Radisson hotel, owned by the Ongko Group, will start operation in Jakarta in August.

Radisson Plaza Hotel Yogyakarta, constructed with an investment of Rp 30 billion (US$13.64 million), is owned by PT Adichandra Grahawisata, a joint venture between Adichandra Group, which belongs to Untung Sutomo, and the Salim Group, Indonesia's largest conglomerate.(mun/icn)
