About the employer

Shangri-La is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts, and related properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The company is recognized for personalized service, comfortable accommodation, destination dining, wellness facilities, and a strong emphasis on genuine hospitality. Its Indonesian operations serve both business and leisure travelers and typically include restaurants, meeting facilities, guest services, and extensive hotel amenities. Shangri-La properties generally provide structured operating standards, training, career-development opportunities, and an international working environment. Benefits and employment conditions vary by property and contract, but may include service charge, meals, uniforms, medical coverage, accommodation or transport support, and employee-rate stays. The group’s culture places importance on teamwork, guest satisfaction, cultural awareness, and consistent luxury-service delivery.

Working in Indonesia

Indonesia is an archipelago offering hotel and restaurant opportunities in Jakarta, Bali, Batam, Lombok, Surabaya, and resort islands such as Bintan. Bali is especially popular for hospitality careers, with a relaxed lifestyle, beaches, temples, surf culture, and a large international community. Jakarta provides broader corporate and luxury-hotel opportunities but has a busy urban pace and heavy traffic. Indonesian culture values respect, warmth, modesty, family, and community; learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful. Living costs vary considerably, with Bali’s tourist areas often more expensive than secondary cities. Foreign employees normally require employer sponsorship and an appropriate work authorization, commonly involving a work permit and limited-stay visa or KITAS; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Candidates should confirm current immigration rules, contract benefits, accommodation, tax treatment, and relocation support directly with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
