25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird
Nestled in the heart of the Sudirman Central Business District within District 8, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird rises 38 stories high, featuring 210 hotel rooms, 135 serviced apartments, 11 creative lounges and a ballroom, standing above Ashta Mall in the bustling Senopati area — one of the city’s top business and lifestyle destinations.
The hotel draws inspiration from the neighborhood’s history and culture, once envisioned as a garden city with its own mid-century Jenki evolution. As a result, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird offers lush garden rooms and retro urban rooms, each furnished with original vintage mid-century pieces and curated local and international art, evoking both nostalgia and the fleeting nature of time.
Co-working spaces with a maxi bar, along with uniquely themed meeting rooms, cater to those embracing the hustle culture. All public areas will be furnished with an eclectic mix of original mid-century modern pieces.
Meanwhile, the Vida spa offers a tranquil retreat and full range of wellness choices which are connected to the outdoor area where guests can enjoy the infinity pool or lounge on sunbeds while savoring plant-based snacks and sipping ABV Pina Coladas.
The 25hours Things Shop that connects to Ashta Mall will be an exciting space full of sustainable and upcycled products along with local crafts.
Guests can indulge in a culinary journey at COPA, offering Latin American dishes crafted by Executive Chef Matias Mardones from Chile, enjoy cocktails at THE ODDBIRD BAR headed by Marcello Monte from Argentina, or relax by the pool enjoying plant-based food in CABANA where the menu was developed by the renowned Andrew Yap from The Old Man Bar Singapore. Two more exciting F&B concepts are coming on the rooftop of the building, which is due to open early in 2025.
True to its name, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird is a place of contrasts, where nostalgia meets modernity, inviting guests to embrace their perfectly authentic selves. The hotel’s “Come as You Are” philosophy fosters genuine connections, reflecting the vibrant spirit of classic Jakarta neighborhoods through its Garden and Urban-themed rooms. By blending authenticity, individuality, and rich cultural experiences, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird offers a unique, unforgettable stay that celebrates life’s moments.
