About the employer

Shangri-La is an international luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and known for its hotels, resorts, and distinctive service culture. The group operates properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other major destinations. Shangri-La hotels typically combine high-quality accommodation with restaurants, banquet facilities, wellness services, and business amenities. In Indonesia, the company has been associated with luxury hospitality in major destinations such as Jakarta and Bali. Employees generally work in multicultural teams and receive exposure to international operating standards, guest-service practices, food safety, and professional development. Culinary employees may work across restaurants, pastry kitchens, banquets, and room-service operations, depending on the property’s needs. The company commonly looks for team members who are courteous, dependable, safety-conscious, and committed to creating memorable guest experiences.

Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Java, Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and other islands. Bali is the best-known tourism market, with strong demand in hotels, resorts, restaurants, wellness, and events, while Jakarta provides more corporate and luxury-hotel roles. Lombok, Batam, and destinations in eastern Indonesia also offer expanding resort opportunities. Local culture values respect, community, modesty, and religious diversity; learning basic Indonesian is useful. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to relaxed coastal communities, and living costs depend greatly on the island and neighborhood. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate work and stay permits before starting employment; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Applicants should confirm visa support, accommodation, transport, medical cover, taxes, and service-charge arrangements with the employer. Indonesia’s tropical climate, traffic, and seasonal tourism patterns should also be considered when planning relocation.
