Marriott Opens Hotel on Batam Island, Near Singapore

Marriott has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Indonesia with the opening of the Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay on Batam island, near Singapore.

The new hotel is located on the island's laid-back waterfront hub of Harbour Bay, near the Ferry Terminal, where a 40-minute high-speed ferry ride whisks travelers to and from Singapore, 32 kilometers away across the Singapore Strait.

"We are very happy to introduce our signature Marriott Hotels brand to Batam, setting a new benchmark for both business and leisure travel in Batam," said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific (excluding Greater China), . "This is the first five-star hotel to open on the island, and the second Marriott Hotels-branded property in Indonesia. Every Marriott Hotel is thoughtfully designed to let guests have the space to work, relax and be inspired, and this is exactly what guests will find when they come stay with us at Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay."

The hotel offers a total of 216 guestrooms and suites, a variety of F&B outlets, over 1,850 sqm of event space, a 24/7 fitness center with Technogym equipment, an outdoor swimming pool and kids' pool, as well as a spa.

"As an international business and holiday destination located just a short ferry hop from neighboring Singapore and Malaysia, Batam has long welcomed visitors to its shores," said Sean Raine, General Manager, Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay. "With the opening of Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay, we look forward to providing sophisticated spaces and warm hospitality to discerning guests who seek a place to do some work, relax or recharge when they travel to this lovely island."
