Pullman Jakarta Indonesia Thamrin CBD is a five-star hotel located on Jalan M.H. Thamrin, Jakarta. It is one of four hotels surrounding the Selamat Datang Monument. It was opened in 1972 as part of the Wisma Nusantara complex, a skyscraper that once held the record for the tallest building in Indonesia until 1983. Initially managed by Nikko Hotels, the hotel has been operated by Accor under the Pullman brand since 2012. It is owned by PT Wisma Nusantara International, the majority of whose shares are owned by a Singaporean company, Guthrie GTS.
History
The construction of this hotel is closely tied to Wisma Nusantara, a skyscraper whose design was initiated by President Sukarno in 1964. Due to the Hiperinflasi Indonesia 1963-1965 that struck Indonesia at the time, the construction was halted until 1969, when the Indonesian government under President Suharto secured cooperation with Mitsui to resume building the 30-story tower. The project was then expanded to include a star-rated hotel intended for Japanese businessmen staying in Jakarta.[1]
