Novotel, a brand known for creating meaningful moments of balance for business and leisure travellers, has officially opened the Novotel Pontianak Convention Centre, marking a significant addition to the city’s hospitality scene.
Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Supadio International Airport, the hotel enjoys a prime spot near shopping centres, government offices, hospitals, and local attractions such as Alun-Alun Kapuas riverside park and the lively dining area of Gajah Mada Street.
Blending modern design with local heritage, the hotel’s interiors take inspiration from Dayak patterns and the Kapuas River, reflecting Kalimantan’s cultural identity through subtle details and warm tones that complement Novotel’s signature contemporary style.
The property features 194 spacious rooms and suites, each fitted with Novotel’s signature Live N’ Dream® bedding for a restful night’s sleep. Designed for comfort and flexibility, every room provides space to relax, work, and connect.
Families are well catered for with a Kids Club and a Kids Splash Pool, while adults can unwind at the tropical-inspired swimming pool or rejuvenate at the In Balance Spa and Fitness, promoting wellbeing and relaxation.
At Food Exchange, guests can enjoy a mix of local dishes and international favourites, alongside a dedicated children’s menu. The Gourmet Bar in the lobby serves light bites and cocktails, while the Pool Bar offers refreshing drinks in an open-air setting.
Setting a new benchmark for events in West Kalimantan, the hotel boasts the Lotus Ballroom—the largest pillarless ballroom in Pontianak. With seven-metre-high ceilings and a capacity for up to 2,000 guests, it’s ideal for weddings, corporate functions, and special occasions. Two meeting rooms that convert into eight breakout spaces add further flexibility for smaller events.
“We are delighted to expand Novotel’s presence in West Kalimantan with the debut of Novotel Pontianak Convention Centre,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Accor Asia. “This hotel exemplifies Novotel’s belief in creating spaces for both business and leisure travellers, blending contemporary comfort with local hospitality.”
“Novotel Pontianak Convention Centre is designed as more than just a hotel, it is a hub for families, business travellers, and the local community,” said Rispugi Listanto, General Manager, Novotel Pontianak Convention Centre. “We are proud to introduce a property that celebrates the spirit of Pontianak while delivering the trusted hospitality of Novotel.”
