Raffles Jakarta pays homage to Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan
The Raffles Jakarta, which soft-opened in March, will launch a six-treatment room spa at the end of this year.
The spa, which is still being finalised, is also expected to feature a steamroom, experience showers, a 'cold experience', relaxation rooms and a beauty salon.
The 173-bedroom hotel is linked to the new Ciputra Artpreneur Centre, a development dedicated to the celebration of art and theatre, which opened last year.
Designed by HBA, the Raffles Jakarta aims to be a celebration of artistry, and in particular a homage to Indonesian artist Hendra Gunawan, with works by the artist enhancing the interiors. An art concierge will help provide insights into the artist’s life, the company said.
“With Raffles Jakarta, we are bringing to Indonesia an authentic expression of Raffles Hotels & Resorts’ philosophy – the hotel is a combination of both Indonesian and global influences that gives it a unique sense of place,” said Peter French, president of Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “The interpretation and display of Hendra Gunawan’s artwork in this hotel is a truly special tribute to Indonesian art.”
Guestrooms carry the theme of art one step further, with each room designed as an artist’s retreat, featuring Indonesian aesthetics and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Writers Bar, which in Raffles Singapore is a tribute to the famous novelists who have stayed at the hotel, is re-interpreted in Jakarta as an oasis of Indonesian art, history and literature, the company said. The design is inspired by Hendra Gunawan’s love of nature and colour, and features a ceiling sculpted with crystals.
The property also includes two swimming pools, a fitness centre, a yoga terrace, tennis courts, and a 300m running track.
Raffles Jakarta is the 12th hotel and resort for the brand; locations in Jeddah, Sharm-al-Sheikh and Warsaw are planned over the next few years.
