Bidakara Grand Savoy Homann
4-star Art Deco hotel renovated in 1939 by Dutch architect Albert Aalbers, on Jalan Asia Afrika in the heart of Bandung.
The Bidakara Grand Savoy Homann is a 4-star hotel located on Jalan Asia Afrika, the historic artery of Bandung. Renovated in 1939 by Dutch architect Albert Aalbers, it belongs to the lineage of Art Deco buildings that established the city's architectural reputation during the colonial period.
Why stay here
The Savoy Homann stands as a direct witness to Bandung's architectural golden age. Its façade with curved lines, Aalbers' signature, and its entrance hall have welcomed major political figures, notably during the Afro-Asian Conference of 1955 held just steps away, in the neighboring Merdeka building.
The hotel will appeal to travelers drawn to built heritage and 20th-century Indonesian history, as well as those seeking a comfortable and central base from which to explore the capital of West Java.
Atmosphere and architecture
The building exemplifies tropical colonial Art Deco style, with its white volumes, horizontal lines, and the characteristic curvilinear treatment typical of Aalbers' work. The common areas retain a hushed atmosphere, hovering between the modern business hotel and pre-war décor.
