News Official statement Outcome reported
  • The execution of the land where Hotel Sultan stands was completed on June 18, 2026.
  • All belongings of Hotel Sultan will be moved and stored in two warehouses in Cikarang, Bekasi, for six months.
  • The execution proceeded forcefully without the presence of PT Indobuildco, the hotel's management, and was accompanied by riots resulting in 119 arrests.

The execution of the land occupied by Hotel Sultan concluded on Thursday, June 18, 2026, with the building set to be fully vacated. The Central Jakarta District Court's registrar, Ahyar Parmika, ordered the removal and storage of all Hotel Sultan's belongings.

These items will be temporarily housed in two warehouses located in Cikarang, Bekasi. Hotel Sultan's management has a six-month window to retrieve their property. The court's order was based on a directive from the Chief Judge of the Central Jakarta District Court, dated June 17, 2026, concerning the eviction from land plots previously holding HGB (Right to Build) certificates No. 26 and 27.

The execution was carried out forcefully, as PT Indobuildco, the management of Hotel Sultan, did not voluntarily vacate the premises. The process was marked by significant unrest, with crowds reportedly throwing stones at security forces. Police responded with water cannons, leading to a chaotic scene where hundreds fled into the hotel. In total, 119 individuals were arrested for alleged rioting.
