Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts to Rename Jakarta Property

TORONTO | Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is pleased to announce that The Regent Jakarta will be officially re-named Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta today.

Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta is better than ever, having just completed an extensive refurbishment programme. A completely renovated Ballroom and four function rooms have now expanded the availability of function space and the stunning new Spa adds a new level of pampering to both guests and locals in Jakarta. The Hotel's dedicated management and staff will continue to provide guests with the consistent, personalised and anticipatory service they have come to expect of Four Seasons worldwide.

"Four Seasons has managed this prestigious property for more than eight years now and it has become the premier address in Jakarta. As Four Seasons continues to grow, especially in Asia, the time is right to rename the hotel," said Wolf Hengst, president, worldwide hotel operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta embodies core Four Seasons operating and cultural standards and offers international guests experiences of exceptional quality."

When the 365-room Regent Jakarta opened its doors in 1995, it set new standards of luxury in Indonesia, and provided a true "home away from home" for global business travellers. Four Seasons continues to build recognition and a loyal following as the company expands its portfolio in Asia. Award- winning Four Seasons hotels and resorts are already located in Bali (in Jimbaran Bay and Sayan); the Maldives; Singapore; Bangkok; Chiang Mai; Tokyo; Shanghai and Sydney. The company's first resort in Malaysia, in Langkawi, is currently scheduled to open in early 2005. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, a landmark building that is part of the prestigious Hong Kong Station in the city's Central district and financial core, is currently slated to open in mid-2005.
