JHL Collection marks its fifth anniversary with a clear statement of intent: to scale a distinct vision of Light Hospitality blending warmth, elegance, and forward-looking design across Indonesia and the region. Founded in 2020, the group now manages seven properties across six brands in Indonesia and Cambodia and enters its next chapter as a trusted management partner for hotel owners and investors who seek guest experiences with meaning.
Five Years of Hospitality: Laying the Foundation
“These first five years mark the beginning,” said Satria Wei, Executive Director of JHL Collection. “From day one, our vision has been to light the way in hospitality by building a legacy of excellence rooted proudly in Indonesian culture, while embracing global standards. In this formative phase, we focused on building and managing our own properties to lay a strong foundation in service, innovation, and design. Today, with six brands and seven properties across Indonesia and Cambodia, we stand ready to take the next step expanding beyond our own group to become a trusted management partner for investors and hotel owners across the region.”
5TEPS TO THE FUTURE: The Values That Shape What Comes Next
The anniversary theme, “5TEPS TO THE FUTURE,” is more than a slogan. It distills five formative years into a practical compass for growth, anchoring JHL Collection’s promise to grow with purpose, deliver excellence to guests, and create meaningful impact for people and communities. These values are not only what carried the group here, but what will guide every step ahead.
- Steps of Excellence
For JHL Collection, excellence is purposeful growth rooted in Indonesian heritage, delivered to global standards. Ensuring each property feels uniquely local yet confidently world-class. This year, that commitment was reflected in the launch of Noema Resort Pererenan in Bali and Arjuna Resort & Spa in Cambodia, expanding the group’s portfolio with properties that embody the same principles of design and service. This commitment also guides the group’s next chapter, with new destinations such as Lombok and Cambodia set to expand the portfolio while carrying the same standards of excellence.
- Steps of Creativity
Innovation begins from within. By empowering teams to originate, test, and refine ideas, JHL Collection ensures that change is authentic and sustainable. This year’s Limitless Idea Box winner “JHL Collection Magazine” by Ayu Mas Oka from Episode Kuta Bali hotel captures that spirit: a cross-portfolio storytelling platform designed to deepen brand connection, spotlight local culture, and share the craft behind guest experiences.
- Steps of Giving
Hospitality carries a responsibility to the community. Through Jejak Hati Langkahmu, JHL Collection commits to sharing progress with those who need it most. Recent efforts, including Run With Mission, participated by hundreds of runners and donated over 5,000 pairs of shoes to underprivileged students across 47 schools in Indonesia, a concrete example of small steps translating into impact. During the anniversary evening, the group also paid special tribute to donors who signed the Gratitude Wall, acknowledging their role in making every step forward a shared one.
- Steps of Possibilities
Possibilities reflect the courage to embrace new horizons, digital, design, and operational. With the launch of its new website, JHL Collection continues to invest in platforms and practices that make discovery, booking, and storytelling more intuitive and human. This spirit also embodied in the new Augmented Reality (AR) breakfast experience at JHL Solitaire Gading Serpong, where guests can visualize dishes before ordering, explore the journey of ingredients such as honey through interactive storytelling that connect dining to culture, nature, and community.
- Steps of Mindfulness
Mindfulness means placing wellbeing at the center of progress, so growth remains humane, balanced, and sustainable for guests and teams alike. Building on this commitment, JHL Collection will introduce a curated, facilitator-led wellness journey later this year at Kencana Valley, designed to help individuals recentre, reset, and return; further details will be announced at launch.
Resilience in a Challenging Year
“This year has not been without its challenges. But with resilience and commitment, we have overcome them, and in doing so, we are better prepared to look ahead with strength and confidence,” said Satria Wei, Executive Director of JHL Collection. “The lessons of today shape the vision of tomorrow. Our future is not only about more properties, it’s about hospitality that matters.”
Looking Ahead: From Portfolio Builder to Regional Partner
With foundations in place, JHL Collection is poised to expand through selective management partnerships, bringing Light Hospitality and the 5TEPS compass to new destinations. The group will deepen investment in people development and in-house innovation (building on programs like Limitless Idea Box), strengthen its community impact through Jejak Hati Langkahmu, and continue refining guest experiences through thoughtful digital evolution.
