Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle collection, has opened Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar, its second property in Indonesia.

Perched 700m above sea level, the hotel offers a tranquil escape amidst the lush greenery and morning mists of Bandung. Inspired by the local Sundanese word ‘Dagoan’ – meaning ‘to wait’ – it seeks to bring the essence of the destination to life.

The property’s design integrates traditional Sundanese motifs and natural elements, such as cascading waterfalls, classic Bandung batiks and folklore inspired by the nearby Tangkuban Perahu mountain. Its 277 rooms and suites blend local charm with contemporary comfort, while the lobby, encased in floor-to-ceiling windows, showcases the picturesque views of the surrounding vistas.

At Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar, guests can savour a variety of dining experiences that celebrate local flavours and international cuisine. Joempa, the hotel’s main restaurant, brings the essence of the Dago Pakar neighbourhood to life with its menu of savoury and spicy dishes from West Java. A more laidback culinary offering can be found at Dagoan Lounge, which features locally-inspired elements like vibrant graffiti, colourful mural art, traditional gerobak stalls and batik ceramics, blending rustic charm with an Art Deco flair. Karbon, a rooftop restaurant and bar with an Asian grill and smokehouse concept, will open towards the end of 2024.

Additional amenities include Bandung’s highest rooftop infinity pool, which offers views across Dago Pakar. Nine stylish meeting rooms along with a spacious Grand Ballroom will also be available later in the year.

“Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar is a tribute to the rich tapestry of Sundanese culture and the natural splendour 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 neighbourhood,” says Pascal Caubo, Cluster General Manager, Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar and InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar. “From our carefully curated design to our locally inspired dining experiences, every detail tells a story of Dago Pakar’s heritage and charm.”
