IHG Hotels & Resorts has unveiled its latest addition to the Hotel Indigo brand with the opening of Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar, marking the brand’s second property in Indonesia.
Situated in the breathtaking highlands of Bandung, this new retreat offers a perfect blend of local culture, modern luxury, and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a unique experience.
Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar is more than just a hotel; it’s a celebration of the rich Sundanese culture and the stunning natural landscapes of the region. The hotel’s design draws inspiration from local traditions, seamlessly integrating traditional Sundanese motifs with modern elements. Guests are greeted with visuals of cascading waterfalls, classic Bandung batiks, and folklore inspired by the nearby Tangkuban Perahu mountain, creating an atmosphere that is both authentic and contemporary.
“Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar is a tribute to the rich tapestry of Sundanese culture and the natural splendor of Bandung. We are thrilled to open the doors to a retreat where every detail reflects the vibrant spirit and natural beauty of this beloved neighborhood,” said Pascal Caubo, Cluster General Manager, Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar and InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar.
Perched 700 meters above sea level, the hotel offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life, with stunning views of the surrounding lush greenery and morning mists. The 277 rooms and suites are designed to provide comfort while reflecting the local charm. The lobby, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, offers panoramic views of the picturesque vistas, making it an ideal spot for guests to relax and take in the beauty of Bandung.
The hotel’s culinary offerings are equally impressive. Joempa, the main restaurant, brings the flavors of West Java to life with a menu that features local specialties like cuanki, a protein-rich Sundanese broth, and batagor, fried tenggiri fish dumplings served with peanut sauce. Dagoan Lounge, with its vibrant graffiti and colorful mural art, offers a cozy space for snacks and drinks, while the upcoming rooftop restaurant, Karbon, promises to be a highlight with its Asian grill and smokehouse concept.
A Gateway to Bandung’s Natural Wonders
Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar is not just a place to stay but a gateway to the many natural wonders that Bandung has to offer. Guests can explore the nearby Djuanda Forest Park, a botanical garden and conservation area home to over 2,500 plant species and endangered wildlife. For the more adventurous, a hike up Tebing Keraton offers breathtaking sunrise views from one of the highest points in Bandung.
Located in Bandung’s northern reaches, Dago Pakar is a botanical hillside haven surrounded by tea plantations, lush forests, and natural waterfalls. Known as the ‘Paris of Java’, this area beautifully blends Sundanese culture with European influences, offering a unique experience just a 30-minute high-speed train ride from Jakarta.
Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar joins a growing portfolio of Hotel Indigo properties worldwide. With 154 open hotels across 25 countries, Hotel Indigo is the second-largest brand within IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio. Upcoming openings in 2024 include properties in Grand Cayman, Jabal Akhdar Resort & Spa, Bintan Lagoi Beach, and Palau, further expanding the brand’s global footprint.
