Padma Hotels proudly marks its 35th anniversary, celebrating three and a half decades of excellence in delivering heartfelt Indonesian hospitality across diverse destinations.
What began in 1990 with the opening of a modest resort in Legian has grown into a distinguished collection of five unique properties: Padma Resort Legian, Padma Resort Ubud, Padma Hotel Bandung, Padma Hotel Semarang, and Resinda Hotel Karawang.
From the iconic beachfront of Legian to the cultural vibrancy of Semarang, the lush hills of Bandung, and the dynamic industrial hub of Karawang, Padma Hotels has consistently redefined luxury stays in Indonesia by seamlessly blending local heritage, natural beauty, and modern innovation.
A Journey Rooted in Tradition and Growth
For 35 years, Padma Hotels has stood as a symbol of warmth and sincerity, inspired by the richness of Indonesian art and culture. Each property carries its own story, contributing to the brand’s legacy as one of the nation’s most trusted names in hospitality.
Padma Resort Legian
Established in 1990, Padma Resort Legian began as a small beachside retreat with just one swimming pool and a handful of guest rooms, providing a simple yet heartfelt introduction to Balinese hospitality.
Today, it has flourished into a 437-room beachfront resort featuring five swimming pools, expansive tropical gardens, and distinctive artworks celebrating Balinese culture and folklore. Renowned for its family-friendly activities, cultural performances, and diverse dining concepts, Padma Resort Legian offers the perfect balance of vibrant entertainment and serene relaxation, securing its place as one of Bali’s most treasured destinations.
Padma Hotel Bandung
Perched gracefully on the serene slopes of Ciumbuleuit Hill, Padma Hotel Bandung opened in 1994 with just 51 exquisitely designed rooms. Surrounded by natural beauty, it became a haven where tranquillity and sophistication converged, inviting guests to indulge in refined comfort amid Bandung’s lush highlands.
Rebranded as Padma Hotel Bandung in 2009, the property has since grown into a premier urban resort with 124 rooms, a heated infinity pool, an Indonesian speciality restaurant, extensive meeting and event facilities, curated cultural programmes, and the exclusive Adventure Park. Today, it is equally beloved by families and business travellers, while a new transformation project is underway further to elevate its hallmark Sundanese hospitality with modern sophistication.
Padma Resort Ubud
When it opened in 2016, Padma Resort Ubud distinguished itself with a tranquil jungle setting and eco-inspired design, pioneering the positioning of Ubud’s northern Payangan Valley as a luxury destination. With 149 elegantly appointed rooms and its signature 89-metre heated salt-chlorinated infinity pool, the resort quickly became recognised as a premier wellness retreat.
Today, Padma Resort Ubud has matured into a holistic sanctuary, offering jungle trekking, speciality yoga programmes, cycling trails, an animal garden, and an immersive agroforestry garden. Consistently honoured with international accolades, the resort continues to be celebrated as one of the world’s leading wellness destinations, seamlessly blending natural beauty with refined luxury.
Resinda Hotel Karawang
When it opened in 2016, Resinda Hotel Karawang was envisioned as a business-oriented hotel with 256 guest rooms and modest dining facilities, designed to serve the fast-growing industrial hub. Its mission was simple yet ambitious: to redefine hospitality standards in Karawang. Very quickly, it became a favourite among both expatriates and local guests, offering facilities and experiences the city had never seen before.
Today, Resinda Hotel Karawang has transformed into a destination hotel. With 236 spacious rooms and suites, a lagoon-inspired pool, a traditional Japanese bathhouse (sento), a multicultural dining destination, a stylish ballroom, the new Ambassador Suite, and the family-friendly Resinda Oasis Park, the hotel is now the preferred choice for long-stay, business, and leisure travellers alike, setting a new benchmark for urban hospitality in Karawang.
Padma Hotel Semarang
When it opened in 2022, Padma Hotel Semarang introduced a new standard of modern luxury to Central Java’s capital with its contemporary guest rooms and expansive function spaces. From the outset, the hotel positioned itself as a gateway to Semarang’s tourism, debuting the city’s first pool-access rooms, a warm salt-chlorinated pool, distinctive dining outlets including the much-loved Goolali Gelato Bar & Patisserie, and the largest hotel ballroom in Central Java.
The addition of a full waterpark in 2023 further strengthened its appeal as the city’s premier holiday destination. Having successfully hosted multiple events with over 2,000 attendees, Padma Hotel Semarang has, in just three years, flourished into a cultural and lifestyle centrepiece, underscoring Semarang’s rising prominence as a destination in its own right.
Innovation Meets Excellence
Throughout its journey, Padma Hotels has remained at the forefront of Indonesian hospitality, continually introducing facilities and experiences that extend far beyond accommodation. From award-winning dining concepts and curated wellness programmes to signature events such as the Padma Run, the brand has become synonymous with both luxury and lifestyle.
The launch of the Padma Resident membership programme and the Padma Hotels App has further enhanced guest experiences, offering exclusive privileges and personalised services that embody Padma Hotels’ commitment to modern hospitality. With sustainability and cultural enrichment at its core, the brand continues to innovate for future generations.
Over the past 35 years, Padma Hotels has consistently been recognised for excellence, cementing its reputation both locally and internationally. Among its many accolades are repeated listings among Indonesia’s top hotels in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards, Exquisite Awards, and Honeycombers Awards. Padma Hotels has also been ranked among the world’s best by Tripadvisor, honoured for culinary innovation with internationally acclaimed signature outlets, and distinguished with Booking.com Guest Review Awards for guest service and satisfaction — affirming the brand’s enduring dedication to heartfelt hospitality.
A Toast to the Future
As Padma Hotels celebrates this landmark 35th year, the brand looks ahead with optimism, continuing to build on its reputation for delivering experiences that are not only memorable but also meaningful. With plans for more innovative offerings and cultural collaborations, Padma Hotels remains committed to shaping the future of hospitality in Indonesia and beyond.
