first five-star hotel to open on the island, and the second
Marriott Hotels-branded property in Indonesia. Every Marriott

work, relax and be inspired, and this is exactly what guests will
find when they come stay with us at Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour

The hotel offers a total of 216 guestrooms and

an outdoor
swimming pool and kids’ pool, as well as a spa.

“As an international business and holiday

Singapore and Malaysia, Batam has long welcomed visitors to its
shores,” said Sean Raine, General Manager, Batam Marriott Hotel
Harbour Bay. “With the opening of Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour
Bay, we look forward to providing sophisticated spaces and warm
hospitality to discerning guests who seek a place to do some work,
relax or recharge when they travel to this lovely island.”
