The festive season arrives with grandeur at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta, as the iconic landmark unveils its Holiday Spectacle Experience — a blend of nostalgic décor, curated dining events, festive hampers, and glamorous New Year celebrations. From classic Christmas feasts to elegant Japanese courses and Bavarian-inspired gatherings, this year’s holiday lineup transforms the hotel into one of Jakarta’s must-visit destinations for December.
This year, Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta transforms into a whimsical holiday world. In the lobby, a charming classic steam train installation sets the scene, evoking the nostalgia of old-world holiday journeys. Down the hallways, majestic toy soldiers stand guard, adding a playful yet elegant touch. Together with warm lights and festive details, the hotel feels less like a decorated space and more like a holiday story brought to life.
But the heart of The Holiday Spectacles lives in its dining — a highlight the hotel is known for.
A season of indulgent flavors, from classic Christmas feasts to refined Japanese courses and hearty Bavarian celebrations.
