Alila Solo Spirit of Java

Alila Solo, which opened its doors in late 2015, is the city’s first luxury hotel of international standard. An urban retreat that’s both tradition-inspired and technology-driven, Alila Solo is poised to claim an iconic position in Surakarta’s skyline, offering culturally-rich encounters and resort-inspired facilities within a city oasis.  Furthermore, the hotel sets a new benchmark as home to the city’s largest event space and unmatched rooftop bar, a lavish lifestyle venue to wine, dine and socialize. 

Surakarta, or Solo, as it is better known, is the older of the two royal capitals of Central Java, considered the heart of the ancient Javanese kingdoms and cradle of Javanese culture. A city historically ruled by two palaces, it’s steeped in rich court arts, rituals and traditions. Today, Solo is one the fastest developing economic centres of Indonesia, combining the charm of a small city with the ambitions of a metropolis.

The 255 rooms and suites – all with wonderful city views – meld modern style with subtle Javanese nuances. High tech amenities are combined effortlessly with touches of Javanese spirit. Each room inspired relaxation with a soothing colour arrangement of gentle hues and showcases an exclusively commissioned batik mural. The interiors feature a refined stone palette of marble, travertine and granite juxtaposed against soft shades of pale wood and Javanese highlights. Most stunning of all is the monumental floating batik sculpture featured in the striking lobby. Conceptualised by Hendropurnomo, the near 50 meter long suspended artwork incorporates thin aluminium plates with canvas paintings depicting Javanese wayang characters. Weaving the authentic traditions of the ancient city with modern design, the lobby sets the tone for a distinctively stylish and unique stay.

Java aesthetics continue through the dining areas of the hotel. A popular choice when it comes to genuine Indonesian cuisine, Épice melds modern style with Javanese influences by incorporating timber and metal lattices adorned with traditional kawung patterns. Long tables of solid teak finish the look and offer diners a charming venue to enjoy local and pan-Asian specialties. Guests are also pampered with Sky Lounge’s distinguished design with the use of local batik prints. Located on the 29th floor, AGRA rooftop bar & lounge offers an exclusive evening rendezvous for evening drinks and late-night celebration against Solo’s city skyline. Open every night from 5.00pm until late, Agra serves up a delicious selection of eclectic tapas, perfect for sharing, alongside a wide array of creative cocktails, mocktails, wines and spirits.
