Hakim, Director of PT Ozon Hotel International says, “As the tourism sector slowly recovers and the borders open up, we are delighted to open Artotel Batam. It is a great collaboration between our company and Artotel Group – an experienced hotel operator in Indonesia. The first artsy hotel in Batam, Artotel Batam is a fantastic showcase of the art-infused hotel that represents a diverse array of Indonesian culture. With our spacious rooms and facilities, we look forward to delivering an exceptional stay experience to both holiday and business travelers.”

Artotel Batam features 138 guest rooms in two categories: Studio 30 and the larger Studio 45.

Facilities at the hotel include two F&B outlets, three meeting rooms which can accommodate up to 120 people, and an art gallery which will host regular exhibitions of art made or created by Indonesian artists, especially those who are from Batam.

True to its name, Artotel Batam also worked with four young Indonesian artists to help decorate the property: Katon Bagaskara, Mohammad Taufiq, Nus Solomon and Tempa. They collaborated to create contemporary artwork with a ‘Silk Road’ theme telling the story about the vital trade route between East and West. The artwork is embedded with traditional elements of Indonesia, such as shadow puppets, batik and also the country’s flora and fauna.

Eduard Rudolf Pangkerego, Chief Operating Officer for Artotel Group said, “The pandemic is not fully over yet but we all know that it is more controlled now. It is great to see the borders opening up and people start traveling again. As we recover stronger, Artotel Group celebrates another milestone with the opening of Artotel Batam.”
