On behalf of everyone at Swiss-Belhotel International, I would like to thank Hospitality PT Modernland Realty for creating such an outstanding property. We look forward to delivering Swiss-Belhotel’s renowned hospitality to all our guests,” he said.
Gavin M. Faull also mentioned that ideally situated within a business park in Serang, and with a choice of accommodation for short and extended stays, Swiss-Belinn Modern Cikande will be perfectly suited to corporate travellers. The hotel is also just 100km from downtown Jakarta and easily accessible from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, while the industrial city of Cilegon and the new corporate hub of Karawaci are just a short drive away.
“Swiss-Belinn Modern Cikande features a total of 165 contemporary rooms and suites. Guests will be able to enjoy breakfast and all-day dining at the Swiss Kitchen restaurant, plus 24-hour room service, while the pool bar provides a great setting for after-work cocktails.

Finally, six flexible function rooms can host all types of event, from grand social occasions to private business meetings, training seminars and more, supported by state-of-the-art audio-visual technology.
Banten forms the western end of Java, overlooking the Sunda Strait which separates the island from neighbouring Sumatra. The province is also just a short distance from Jakarta and major ports, and this highly strategic position makes Banten a hugely important economic area for the whole of Indonesia.
With its focus on stylish yet affordable accommodation, modern facilities and connectivity, the midscale Swiss-Belinn brand is the perfect fit for emerging cities like Serang. Swiss-Belinn Modern Cikande is expected to become a leading choice for the rising number of travellers now visiting this up-and-coming destination. [traveltext.id]
