Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta has launched the Legend Lives On, a year-long campaign to honour Indonesian history and culture, which the hotel hopes would allow guests to appreciate the country through different lenses.
Programmes include Mustikarasa, an F&B offering featuring Indonesian dishes from the legendary cookbook left by Indonesia’s first president, Soekarno; and interactions with The Curator, an “ambassador of cultural conduit” who will share captivating tales of Indonesia’s vibrant history and unravel mysteries of ancient traditions and local customs.
Harald Fitzek, the hotel’s general manager, said at the launch of the campaign: “Indonesia is a very diverse country, and we are always looking for new ways to introduce our guests to different aspects of Indonesia.”
He added: “”Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta has always been an important part of Indonesia’s history. Here, we always strive to do our part as the guardians of the country’s rich heritage.
Formerly known as Hotel Indonesia, the hotel opened in 1962 as the first five-star property in the country to host Asian Games IV delegates.
As Legend Lives On leads to August, when the hotel celebrates its 62nd anniversary and Indonesia’s independence, a grand party will be hosted to connect the past, present, and future through a blend of music, art, and storytelling.
In the final quarter of 2024, refreshed guestrooms will be unveiled.
