Crowne Plaza Bandung: a Relaxing Staycation at the Heart of the City Buzz

These past weeks, I have been burned out. So much things to do but so little time. I am telling you, being a professional insurance consultant is not something you can pursue at your spare time. What so hard about it? Everything! ha! But rambling about my job is not the reason I pop in here (seriously, after sooo long!). Instead, I want to introduce you to the new hangout spot in my current city: Crowne Plaza Bandung.

Oh yeah..I am feeling it. Refreshing and relaxing, both at the same time. Although this is an unplanned staycation; I decided to make use of it like no body’s business 😀

Crowne Plaza Bandung, is the new addition to Bandung’s hotel collection that is spread out from north to south and from west to east.  Despite the construction process that took a long time, once it’s open it serves the business like a charm. With a strategic location, just right at the center of the city buzz, pretty much close to the heritage site of Asia Africa monument and museum, and of course to the iconic street of Braga, you’ll find the stay addictive.

Like a normal brand new hotel, everything is polished, sparkly and impeccable. The staff are friendly and poised, which is what I love about city hotels.

Bandung itself is not without its own magic. Just two – three hours drive from Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia – if you are not familiar with the country), this Paris van Java is well-known for its cool air, beautiful girls (sorry, I just have to put this out there), delicious food and the shopping paradise, and of course all that make Bandung one of the must-visit cities whenever you are in Indonesia.

Alrighty, without any further delay in words let me take you to a virtual tour around Crowne Plaza Bandung.

This is one of the Junior Suites, where we stayed for a trial stay.

Not sure about the room category, this one is smaller than the previous one.

My phone died during breakfast so I didn’t have a photo of it, but here’s the poolside bar and restaurant.

If you decided to treat yourself a luxurious breakfast in the room, please do so.

One of the questions I have had from a friend was how much would it cost for a dinner for two at the hotel. To be honest, I have no clue. The menu gives you a variety from western to asian, and certainly the taste gives you the best of both world.

One more thing, please let me know whenever you are in Bandung!
