The city of Bandung in West Java is a popular getaway destination for Jakartans needing to escape their city’s intense daily grind. With the opening of the Whoosh high speed train that connects both cities within under an hour, Bandung’s popularity is definitely growing.
The city’s cool climate and burgeoning food scene continue to entice visitors, especially now with the highly anticipated Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar opening its doors.
As the second Hotel Indigo of IHG Hotels & Resorts in Indonesia, the property seeks to immerse guests in West Java’s indigenous Sundanese cultural heritage. Guests are invited to luxuriate in the tranquillity of the hotel’s lush surroundings.
Located in Dago Pakar neighbourhood, the boutique hotel beckons guests with a calming view of the surrounding tea plantations, forest, waterfalls, and botanical garden. The lobby’s floor-to-ceiling windows allow one to admire the majestic landscape enveloping the hotel while taking a bit of a breather.
The hotel boasts 277 rooms with decor weaving traditional Sundanese motifs with natural elements. Guests will find vernacular interpretations of cascading waterfalls and topographic contours, classic Bandung batik patterns, and folklore related to the nearby Tangkuban Perahu mountain.
The rooftop infinity pool features a stunning vista, perfect for downtime with the family and loved ones, while younger guests are welcome to spend time at Kancil Club. For special events, the hotel is equipped with nine meeting rooms and a vast Grand Ballroom catering for weddings and gatherings.
Sundanese food aficionados will find Joempa, the hotel’s main restaurant, a delight. Revel in an array of savoury and sweet West Javanese cuisine, such as the beloved Batagor, deep fried tofu and meatballs served with peanut sauce. The visually stunning dishes are served with family-style sharing options.
Dagoan Lounge is where guests can enjoy small bites coupled with coffee or local tea while marvelling at Bandung’s cityscape. The neighbourhood-inspired graffiti, murals, and gerobak stalls add a touch of playfulness to the space. The upcoming Karbon is set to open later this year, offering guests an innovative Asian grill and smokehouse dining experience on the rooftop.
