Five-Star Hillside

With everything that Bandung has to offer, InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar may have raised the standard for a complete first-class hospitality experience in one of Indonesia’s most popular weekend destinations.

The West Java capital of Bandung has always held a charm that attracts many different demographics with various interests, from business trips to team gatherings and outings, family reunions and weddings, or even short weekend getaways. Shopping at the local brand shops or factory outlets, dining at legendary eateries or chic modern cafes, or simply enjoying the colder weather while overlooking the city from the higher northern parts, are all popular pastimes in Bandung.

InterContinental Bandung Dago Pakar took that exact idea and applied them into its five-star luxury accommodation. Located on the hills of Dago Pakar, the hotel is surrounded by the Mountain View Golf Course, and has a prime view of the city from the windows of its 206 rooms and suites. The spacious rooms are 41-46sqm, with the option of a lush golf course view, while suites enjoy panoramic corner windows and start from the 57sqm Junior suite to the grand 100sqm Keraton suite, and, at the top of the line, the Presidential suite at 211sqm. 

One of InterContinental Bandung’s best features is its first-class meeting and events facilities. The Grand Ballroom covers a staggering 1,920sqm, has the capacity to host up to 4,000 guests, and can be divided into three smaller ballrooms. There are six other meeting rooms for 50 people each. Every one of these function rooms is equipped with state-of-the-art meeting equipment, including large LED screens, lighting and sound systems. 

Outdoor events, meanwhile, can be held in the Terrace area, which is just outside the ballroom and meeting rooms. Even though the Grand Ballroom is ideal for a glorious wedding celebration, InterContinental Bandung provides a more romantic and intimate option, namely The Diamond. A unique semi-outdoor venue with its own all-glass chapel, it is surrounded by majestic views of the mountains and Bandung’s skyline.

On the dining front, InterContinental Bandung has a few signature outlets. Damai Restaurant serves guests all day long with scrumptious buffets and curated à la carte local and international favourites. It is perfect for large parties and has an outdoor area, as well as a private dining room. On the 18th floor is Tian Jiang Lou, the hotel’s specialty Chinese restaurant, offering the fool proof combination of exquisite dining with a sensational setting and a beautiful view. For desserts, an assorted collection of cakes and pastries are available at Deli 8.

Last but not least, staying at any InterContinental hotel will never be complete without enjoying the benefits of its Club InterContinental Lounge. Located on the top floor and graced with a beautiful view of Bandung, the club lounge offers guests a luxurious experience with personalized service and a range of complimentary benefits.
