Southeast Asia’s largest hotel management group, Archipelago International has tied-up with Grab’s “GrabWheels” which is an on demand scooter sharing service recently.
GrabWheels will rent environmentally-friendly e-scooters through the Grab mobile app.
Dedicated pick-up and drop-off electrical charging stations have been installed across the many Archipelago hotels, encouraging hotel guests and residents alike to rent the scooters and take advantage of an environmentally-friendly, zero-carbon and time-effective urban transportation method.
E-Scooters, charging stations and safety helmets are provided and fully maintained by Grab for a fun and safe ride experience, while the hotels provide strategic locations for the stations.
Considering, that Archipelago has the largest number of hotels in Indonesia, the Group continues to improve the quality of life for Indonesians, not only by providing a good night sleep and a nice meal – but also by creating a new mobility network now.
“We are the first hotel operator to enter into such a partnership, demonstrating once again Archipelago’s innovative and sustainable company culture.
“Enhancing guest experience through technological advancement while reducing the impact on the environment and making a sustainable difference in the locations where we live and work is a wonderful thing to do.
“E-Scooters are very energy efficient, while improving overall mobility without increasing emissions. They have been hugely popular in other parts of the world and we are very excited to be part of this global movement with our green partner Grab,” said John Flood, president and chief executive officer of Archipelago International
Archipelago International which is headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia operates the country’s largest portfolio of over 150 hotels with a further 100 new properties under development across Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and Middle East.
Among their hotel luxury brands include ASTON, Alana, the Aston Heritage Collection, Huxley, Kamuela, HARPER, Quest, NEO, facehotels and NOMAD.
