Bandung’s hillside icon has a new leader steering the ship and he’s bringing a suitcase full of experience. InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar has officially welcomed Christoph Pouls as its new General Manager, and the excitement is in the air.
Christoph is a hospitality globetrotter with twenty‑five years across Europe and Asia, hopping from Changsha to Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur to Bali, always with the InterContinental brand in tow. Since joining IHG Hotels & Resorts in 2014, he has been the figure behind the scenes making luxury feel effortless and guest journeys unforgettable.
His career began in culinary and Food & Beverage, giving him a deep appreciation for flavours, textures, and the small details that make a hotel stay memorable. That background has shaped his holistic approach to operations and guest experience. Colleagues know him as a commercially driven leader with a knack for strategic repositioning, successful business turnarounds, and building high‑performing teams.
Now, as General Manager of InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar, Christoph is set to sharpen the hotel’s market position in West Java’s competitive scene, drive sustainable growth with a focus on long‑term performance, and continue elevating guest experiences in line with the InterContinental promise.
