Come Feb 2015, our very own Raffles Hotel group will open a stylish new hotel in Jakarta’s trendy Kuningan district. Set in an area with a vibrant arts scene, the 173-room hotel takes design cues from iconic Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan, dressing up the hotel’s elegant interiors with some of his most recognizable art works. Known for his bold colors and fluid strokes, art buffs will be happy to know that the hotel will also be conducting walking tours of Gunawan’s art pieces that remained largely out of the spotlight until his death in 1983.
Gunawan’s artistic influences carry on throughout the hotel with a lush Gunawan inspired garden making up part of the Raffles Spa. Raffles Jakarta also comes six treatment rooms, saunas, steam rooms and a yoga terrace. There is also the Writers Bar that serves up bespoke cocktails and the Arts Café that offers a selection of Pan Asian and European dishes.
Introductory rates start at US$281($369) and are valid for stays from Feb 1-Apr 30 2015. To book, head to their website.
