Police Deploy 3,161 Personnel to Secure Hotel Sultan Eviction

Authorities in Jakarta Pusat have mobilized a significant security force of 3,161 personnel to oversee the execution and eviction process at the Hotel Sultan. The operation is slated to take place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, as mandated by a court order.

Hendry Arisandi, head of the transition team for Gelora Bung Karno Block 15, stated that technical preparations for the eviction are underway. He cited a lack of good faith from the hotel's management, PT Indobuildco, in complying with the court's directive to vacate the premises. "Our principle is clear: this execution is the implementation of a court order," Hendry asserted.

Our principle is clear: this execution is the implementation of a court order.

According to Arisandi, the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Center (PPK GBK) has established procedures for handling any belongings left behind by PT Indobuildco within Block 15. These items will be meticulously inventoried, documented, relocated, and stored securely.

The legal battle over the land on which Hotel Sultan stands has persisted for years. Tensions escalated when PT Indobuildco failed to vacate the property by the deadline of the court's warning, which expired on February 17, 2026. The legal representatives for the State Secretary and PPK GBK confirmed receiving the official notification of the eviction execution from the Central Jakarta District Court on May 19, 2026, which was also sent to PT Indobuildco.
