It has been half a century since Bandung’s famed Preanger Hotel first gained an international reputation. Designed in the Indische Empire style, it opened on Jl. Grooten Postweg (now Jl. Asia Afrika) in the 1920s. Later, it was redecorated with new art deco flourishes and a new name: Grand Hotel Preanger. In 1987, the Grand Hotel Preanger became part of the Aerowisata Group and was again renovated extensively. Today’s Grand Hotel Preanger reflects a blending of deco design and Sundanese touches. Two historic sections - the Asia Afrika Wing and the Naripan Wing – have been joined by a new high-rise tower and public areas (lit by stained-glass skylights).
Right in the centre of Bandung, the hotel is within walking distance to most of the business and financial district and close to shopping center. It is 10 minutes by car from the airport or the train station.
It is three hours by executive train, or four hours by road from Jakarta.
