Are you looking for your next holiday destination? Tired of the tourist crowds in Bali? Bandung is perhaps Indonesian next most famous spot, and comes with a cooler climate and friendlier locals to boot. In this city known for its affordable shopping options, beautiful views, and culinary experiences, these five unique accommodation options stand out from the rest.
Moxy Bandung
The first Moxy property in Asia-Pacific, this contemporary 109-room boutique hotel is one for millennials and young families. Guests can check in at the lobby bar, which is open 24/7, and all the rooms feature an open-storage concept with little surprises like gummy candies and a vinyl player with the latest hits in R&B and indie music. Plus, the Sky Bar on the rooftop (wines by the glass and local brews) and communal Living Room space make for excellent spots to get some work done or mingle with like-minded folks.
