NEWS| Intl| Ritz, Marriott Open in Jakarta 12 Days After Attacks

The Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott hotels in Jakarta opened amid “heightened” security, 12 days after suicide attacks killed nine people including the bombers.

The hotels, situated opposite each other in Jakarta’s upscale Kuningan area, resumed services at 10 a.m. local time today, Marriott International Inc., which manages both properties, said in a statement.

The biggest U.S. hotel chain said security had been “heightened even further as a precaution,” to reassure guests after Indonesia’s first terrorist attack in four years.
