Vistra announces launch of Geni, the world's first global AI compliance advisor, to make corporate compliance effortless and smooth companies' path to growth
BALI, Indonesia, April 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After more than 16 years of welcoming guests to the lush highlands of Ciumbuleuit, Padma Hotel Bandung has officially entered a period of temporary closure as part of a bold and forward-looking transformation. Padma Hotels, the parent brand behind this beloved property, shared their thoughts with us on what this next chapter truly means for the hotel, for the guests, and for hospitality in Indonesia.
"This is not merely a renovation, it is a reinvention," shared Nandang Suryana, Corporate Director of Operations at Padma Hotels. "Padma Hotel Bandung has long been more than a destination. It is a place where stories unfold—morning walks in the mist, family reunions by the pool, the kind of everyday moments that stay with you. Our aim is to preserve the soul of the hotel while evolving every touchpoint to meet the desires of tomorrow's travelers."
The transformation will encompass a comprehensive expansion of guest rooms and suites, the introduction of fresh culinary experiences, enhanced wellness and recreational offerings, and architectural refinements that reflect both contemporary design and a deep reverence for the natural surroundings. A core focus of the project will also be sustainability—ensuring that the beauty of Ciumbuleuit remains untouched and celebrated.
"This evolution is part of our broader commitment across Padma Hotels to deliver thoughtful luxury rooted in place, culture, and care," Nandang continued. "As one of our flagship properties, Padma Hotel Bandung will emerge not just with a new look, but with renewed purpose."
When asked about guest sentiment, Padma Hotels acknowledged the deep emotional ties many have with the Bandung property. "We know how much this hotel means to our guests. That is exactly why this transformation is so important. We're not stepping away, we're stepping up."
During the closure period, guests are encouraged to explore other Padma Hotels destinations across Indonesia. From the breezy beachfront lifestyle at Padma Resort Legian and the spiritual calm of Padma Resort Ubud, to the urban elegance of Padma Hotel Semarang and the industrial oasis of Resinda Hotel Karawang, the signature Padma experience remains accessible across diverse landscapes.
As for what awaits upon reopening? Padma Hotels promises more than new features. "We are creating a space that feels both familiar and surprising. A place where returning guests will feel seen, new guests will feel our signature hospitality, and the whole sensation of being home far away from home," Nandang concluded.
