ACCOR has announced its first property in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, with the opening of Mercure Pangkalan Bun. Located a 15-minute drive away from Iskandar Airport, the hotel offers an ideal location for both business and leisure travelers to discover the city in a unique way with genuinely local experiences.
Pangkalan Bun, the capital of West Kotawaringin Regency in Central Kalimantan Province, serves as a gateway to the renowned Tanjung Puting National Park, conveniently accessible from Mercure Pangkalan Bun. Tanjung Puting National Park is recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and holds immense significance as the most important conservation area for orangutans worldwide, spanning an area of approximately 4,150 square kilometers.
Moreover, the hotel’s proximity to Istana Kuning and Istana Mangkubumi offers a delightful opportunity for guests to discover the rich heritage and culture of Kutaringin.
According to Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer of Accor’s Premium, Midscale and Economy Division Asia said we are pleased to unveil Mercure Pangkalan Bun, a hotel that brings together the best of both worlds for travelers. Guests can embark on a captivating journey to explore the wonders of Kalimantan, immersing themselves in its beauty and charm, all while enjoying the familiar comforts and exceptional standards that the Mercure brand is globally recognized for.
“This hotel opening is not only a significant milestone for the tourism sector in the area, but also plays a significant role in supporting the province’s infrastructure by providing high-quality accommodation and fostering a deep connection with the local community,” he said.
The lobby features a stunning “Rumah Betang,” inspired by the traditional houses of Central Kalimantan’s Dayak tribe, known for their communal spirit and unity. The interior design incorporates natural elements such as woven rattan and wood, embracing the area’s connection to nature.
With the largest pillarless ballroom in town, equipped with cutting-edge technology, Mercure Pangkalan Bun stands ready to become the destination of choice for event planners. The elegant Batuah Ballroom sets the stage for unforgettable weddings, corporate meetings and social events, accommodating up to 650 delegates. Additionally, six multipurpose rooms cater to a wide range of various needs.
Meanwhile Dona Yohana, General Manager of Mercure Pangkalan Bun, said our team is eagerly awaiting the arrival of our guests, ready to offer them memorable experiences and deliver exceptional service that embodies the essence of the Mercure brand. Our ultimate goal is for the hotel to establish itself as the top choice in Pangkalan Bun, providing the perfect destination that fulfils the requirements of both business and leisure travellers.
“To celebrate the opening, guests can take advantage of a special opening rate of IDR905.080 nett per night, including breakfast for two guests that can be enjoyed until 31st of August 2023,” she concluded. [traveltext.id]
