No more Jakarta Hilton Hotel
Jakarta Hilton Hotel had changed to Sultan Hotel since August 17. Formally, Hilton's contract would expire August 31. But I saw yesterday the Hilton logo had been replaced with Sultan's.
Sits over a disputed land at the heart of Jakarta's bussy Sudirman district, Jakarta Hilton was built in early 1970s and owned by Ibnu Sutowo's family. Ibnu's son Pontjo Sutowo, who lead the empire, has been named a suspect in a corruption case early this year.
Sutowo family got the contract of Hilton chain in 1976 and would end in August 31, 2006. It's not clear who will operate Hilton's chain in Indonesia in the future. Neither is clear on why both parties don't renew the contract.
Hilton operates two other hotels in Bali and Surabaya. Bali Hilton renamed Ayodya Resort, a five star 538-room secluded luxurious resort area in South Bali.
No information on who owns the Sultan chain.

Yes indeed. The Bali Hilton would be The Ayodya Palace.
Thanks Pak Indrayana.
