International Recognition for Waldorf Astoria Jakarta at HICAP 2026

The conference’s Deal of the Year Awards cover development, single-asset transactions, and mergers and acquisitions in the Asia-Pacific hotel sector. According to HICAP’s published criteria, the Single Asset Transaction of the Year category recognizes a hotel or resort transaction in which more than a 50% ownership stake was acquired and the transaction closed within the stated eligibility period.
For 2026, HICAP selected Waldorf Astoria Jakarta as the category winner.
