Bernhard Kammerlohr, General Manager Menara Peninsula Hotel
Jakarta, IO – Menara Peninsula Hotel Jakarta has built its reputation as a renowned and prestigious institution for 25 years. In October 2022, Bernhard Kammerlohr joined Menara Peninsula as General Manager.
At that particular moment, Indonesia’s economy in general, and Jakarta in particular, had not fully recovered from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The global political situation was also in turmoil, reacting to the conflict in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war, which massively impacted the economies of Europe and other countries.
As global and national economies began to rebound, Menara Peninsula Hotel flourished rapidly, and reached an occupancy rate similar to that recorded before the pandemic.
Brimming with potential, Menara Peninsula Hotel continues to upgrade its services and facilities. For example, its 6th floor will be converted into high-end apartments, exclusively for guests wishing for a longer stay. “ I’m confident it will be more profitable when it becomes apartments,” said Kammerlohr. “We are currently developing KTV and karaoke rooms with third parties, which will tap into new markets, and bring us new customers,” he continued.
Kammerlohr also mentioned the 500-square-meter rooftop area of the hotel, which is currently unused. Offering breathtaking cityscapes, the area can be transformed into a highend restaurant, lounge and bar.

With 380 guest rooms, two ballrooms and 15 meeting rooms, Menara Peninsula Hotels becomes a prime choice for the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) market.
Even while new hotels are mushrooming in Jakarta, Kammerlohr is confident that Menara Peninsula Hotel will remain the superior choice, because it always allies with leading-edge trends. “I have no doubt that we will be able to compete well. With the team’s hard work, we have emerged as a leading destination in West Jakarta for MICE and individual tourists,” he remarked. (des)
