Four Points by Sheraton, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, today announces the opening of Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak, marking the brand’s debut in Pontianak and Marriott International’s first hotel in West Kalimantan. As the 15th Four Points by Sheraton in Indonesia, the new property strengthens the brand’s presence as Marriott International’s most represented brand in the country. With this opening, Marriott International now operates 84 properties across Indonesia, continuing its planned growth in both major and emerging destinations.
Located on Jalan Arteri Supadio, Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak is just 12 kilometres, or around a 30-minute drive, from Supadio International Airport. The hotel offers convenient access to the city’s commercial areas, shopping spots, lifestyle centres, and historic attractions. Blending modern comfort with local touches and practical facilities, the hotel is designed to suit both business and leisure travellers.
“We’re excited to debut Marriott International’s first property in West Kalimantan with the opening of Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak,” said Ramesh Jackson, Regional Vice President, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International. “With its location right at the equatorial line and the banks of Kapuas River, Pontianak is a unique destination.

Guests can look forward to the warm hospitality, locally-inspired experiences, and relaxed comfort that Four Points is known for – right here in Pontianak.”

Explore Pontianak – The Equator City
Set along the Kapuas River – Indonesia’s longest river – Pontianak offers a mix of culture, history, and natural beauty. Its equatorial position makes it one of the few places where visitors can stand directly on the equator at the famous Equator Monument, or witness the Sun Culmination Festival, a rare event held twice a year.
Travellers can also visit Kadriah Palace, the 18th-century home of the Pontianak Sultanate, and explore the city’s lively riverfront filled with dining, shopping, and cultural experiences. From traditional Dayak crafts to modern retail hubs, Pontianak blends old and new. The city is also known for its rich culinary scene influenced by Malay, Dayak, and Chinese traditions, offering everything from riverside seafood spots to bustling hawker-style eateries.
“At Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak, we want our guests to experience the true spirit of this vibrant riverside city,” said Richardo Tutuko, Multi Property General Manager of Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak and Element by Westin Bali Ubud. “Whether it’s unwinding in our comfortable rooms, discovering local flavors at Lumina, or simply soaking in the charm of Pontianak’s culture and hospitality, we’re here to make every stay effortlessly enjoyable and authentically local.”
