To celebrate Indonesia’s Independence Day this August, Artotel Group through its loyalty program, Artotel Wanderlust, presents the “Waktu Indonesia Semarak” campaign. This program invites hotel guests to experience the festive spirit of Independence Day across all hotel destinations under the ARTOTEL, DAFAM, MAXONE, and ROOMS INC brands.
The “Waktu Indonesia Semarak” campaign brings a complete and exciting experience for guests, ranging from stays, dining, and shopping, to joining unique activities inspired by Indonesia’s Independence Day celebrations. Each activity is tailored to the local culture of the destination, allowing guests to embrace the wisdom of local traditions through events held at each property.
Through this campaign, Artotel Wanderlust members can enjoy exclusive and attractive benefits, including:
Semarak Tamasya: A special stay offer with a 20% discount plus double points throughout August.
Semarak Santap: An F&B program inspired by the favorite dishes and drinks of Indonesia’s founding father and first president, Ir. Soekarno.
Semarak Acara: A series of fun and festive Independence Day activities, from music and sports to traditional games competitions and more, open to all hotel guests.
Semarak Belanja: Artotel Goods merchandise program in collaboration with Indonesian artist Emte, presenting a variety of wearable arts with the “Gaya Nusantara” theme, such as t-shirts, notebooks, and more.
At de Braga by ARTOTEL, located in the iconic heritage area of Braga, the dining experience becomes even more special. Imagine sitting along the legendary Braga Street, surrounded by warm lights and the evening breeze, while enjoying Rawon Surabaya with its rich, dark spiced broth, and Sayur Lodeh with savory coconut milk aroma. Every bite is more than just taste—it’s a journey through time to the culinary favorites of Bung Karno, now served with a unique de Braga touch.
The program becomes even more festive with various activities, including a fun race using tubes and rice ladles—guaranteed to bring endless laughter—alongside a watercolor drawing sharing session with Elfan, a collaborative artist known for his consistent works in watercolor. Guests are welcome to ask questions, learn techniques directly from the expert, and all free of charge.
The highlight of the celebration will take place alongside de Braga by ARTOTEL’s 7th anniversary on August 18, 2025. The evening will feature a bar takeover by one of Bandung’s renowned bartenders, live performances from local musicians, and a mystery guest star ready to enliven the atmosphere. Staying guests will have access to join this special moment.
Reza Farhan, General Manager of de Braga by ARTOTEL, commented:
“For us, Independence Day is not only about celebration but also about togetherness and pride in our cultural heritage. Through this series of events, we want to invite guests to feel the true essence of Bandung—warm, creative, and full of stories.”
Yulia Maria, Director of Marketing Communications of Artotel Group, added:
“Through the Waktu Indonesia Semarak program, we want to invite our guests to celebrate Indonesia’s Independence Day joyfully across Artotel Group hotels. With Waktu Indonesia Semarak, we aim to provide a 360° experience aligned with Artotel Group’s business pillars: Stay, Dine, Play, and Shop. Beyond offering a memorable stay, this program is also a testament to Artotel Group’s continuous commitment to promoting Indonesian culture and heritage in every one of our hotels.”
