This hotel dates back to 1929 and is blessed with a photogenic lobby patisserie set beneath stained-glass skylights. The best rooms are those in the executive class, on the 1st floor. These are the originals, and though they were renovated a few years back, art deco flourishes remain with reproduction furniture, marble floors and baths, and original lighting.
Rooms in the attached, modern wing are thin-carpeted and dark, and are just okay. The courtyard-like swimming pool, with its surrounding trees, flowers, and lawns, is about as close as Bandung gets to a green space.
