Our commitment to providing exceptional service and creating memorable stays is now on full display, offering our guests an unmatched experience from the moment they arrive.”

The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Republic of Indonesia, represented by the Director of Financing Access, Anggara Hayun Anujuprana, stated, “The presence of hotels this year is highly opportune, coinciding with the revival of the tourism sector. We have new hotels, conveniently located near the airport.

The Acting Regent of Kulon Progo, Ni Made Dwipanti Indrayanti, stated, “The location of these hotels is part of our design for the aerotropolis area, which supports the International Airport. We are grateful because the presence of these two hotels means that we have absorbed labor, including from small and medium enterprises (UMKM). Hopefully, this benefits not only the culinary sector but also our crafts. In the future, we hope to collaborate to attract tourists to stay in Kulon Progo, with comprehensive hotel facilities, and to advance the economy, particularly in the Kulon Progo Regency.”
