Neoclassical boutique residence
It lives like an Old World private residence, where a grand ground-floor salon sits above a quiet basement club.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Elegant guest rooms are smartly dressed in a blend of creamy shades and warm hues accessorized with layers of rich wood furnishings, natural rattan, patterned textiles.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Senopati's restaurant strip sits right outside the door, and the glass towers of the SCBD are a short drive away.
The rooms
Beds have hand-carved Jepara timber headboards, and Wood Deluxe rooms place vintage soaking tubs beside the windows.
The gym
The basement gym is lined with mirrors and fitted with Matrix treadmills, weight machines, and benches.
Restaurant
Sofia at The Gunawarman
Blue velvet banquettes sit beneath tall arched windows, and bartenders mix drinks behind a fluted dark-wood bar.
How it began
A team of Indonesian designers all under thirty conceived the European classical building, which opened in 2016.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
