Conran and Partners completes design of Park Hyatt Jakarta
Architecture and interior design studio Conran and Partners has completed the interior design of Park Hyatt Jakarta, a property located in the heart of Indonesian city Jakarta. The 222-key hotel occupies 19 floors of the new landmark 37-storey Land Park Tower, and comprises a range of F&B, wellness and event spaces.
Inspired by the Indonesian rainforests, the hotel’s design uses a rich and warm colour scheme that transitions from darker tones on the lower levels to lighter, brighter hues on the higher floors. The interiors showcase an array of natural materials sourced from local artisans and suppliers, including lava stone, wood carvings and tribal shields.
For the hotel’s design, Conran and Partners drew inspiration from traditional Indonesian textile motifs and crafts, with Lombok games, bespoke furniture and locally sourced Ikat panels and artwork displayed across all 20 floors of the hotel. A significant portion of the FF&E was crafted by Indonesian-based furniture supplier, Saniharto, using native timbers and materials from the region.
Each space within the hotel has been designed to hold its own identity, while also remaining cohesive across the property. Upon entry, guests are welcomed by carved stone artwork by sculptor Richard North Lewis, then led to a lower lobby adorned with local shields and a ‘rock glass’ chandelier. The communal residential space on this floor is divided into four distinct areas, while a helical marble staircase in a double height glass volume overlooks the city and leads guests to a dining room and open kitchen.
The top floors are home to the hotel’s Kita bar and restaurant, serving up modern Japanese cuisine in a vibrant conservatory-style space, as well as an adjoining terrace and nine private rooms, including tatami rooms.
The hotel’s sustainability approach incorporates a range of natural materials into the design, while Conran and Partners also worked closely with local ceramists to provide accessories, and art consultants to source native Ikat patterns and artwork for the guestrooms.
“Park Hyatt as a brand focuses on contemporary luxury with a residential feel and importantly all hotels are conceived individually with no Park Hyatt the same,” says Tina Norden, Principal at Conran and Partners. “Our concept for Park Hyatt Jakarta focuses on bringing some of the beauty and variety of Indonesia to the city, highlighting nature, natural resources and crafts but elevating these to the level of a sophisticated hotel.
“Guests staying at Park Hyatt Jakarta may not venture further into Indonesia, even if they are, this will be their starting point. We wanted to give the guest a first glimpse not only of the city, but also the country through our concept and give them a stylish base to explore.”
