25hours opens its first hotel in Asia

25hours Hotel The Oddbird throws open its doors to all daydreamers, night owls and urban nomads looking for something different in the urban jungle of Jakarta.

 

True to its name, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird is a place of contrasts, where nostalgia goes back to the future, inviting guests to be themselves and be anyone they want. A home away from home for cultural chameleons who blur the boundaries between business and leisure – a playground of possibilities, where weird is wonderful. 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird is a place for all Oddbirds, those who celebrate their individuality but want to feel at home in their flock.

Rising 38 stories above Ashta Mall in the charming Senopati district, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird is at the heart of the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) within District 8 – a neighbourhood that, despite the city’s reputation, can be easily explored by foot. The hotel offers 210 rooms, 135 residences for longer stays, eleven creative lounges, one ballroom and an outdoor pool with spa. Five restaurants and bars will gradually complete the property. For the design, 25hours has teamed up with the interior design studio 1508’ Singapore Studio, which creates extraordinary places worldwide.

With 25hours Hotel The Oddbird, 25hours brings its own spirit and ‘come as you are’ philosophy to Asia in the rapidly developing and vibrant city of Jakarta. It is a place for those who live life on their terms and on their time, the ultimate spot to nest amid life’s adventures and for those who do business unusual and show off their plumage. Drawing inspiration from the neighbourhood’s original conception as a garden city within a city, the hotel offers two distinct room types – lush garden and retro urban rooms. The 210 rooms range from medium to gigantic and offer a suitable retreat for every traveller and his needs. They are each furnished with original vintage mid-century pieces and curated local and international art, evoking both nostalgia and the fleeting nature of time.

25hours must-haves such as the free minibar, free Wi-Fi, Smart TV, and bathrooms with rain showers are available in all room categories. In addition, the Extra Large and Gigantic Garden rooms invite guests to explore the city by bike from the Berlin-based manufacturer Schindelhauer – a special treat on Jakarta’s car-free Sundays. With a size of 75 square metres, the Gigantic Garden rooms are the place to go big or go home with separate living and sleeping quarters. Imagine a huge urban nest for flights of fancy where creativity can soar. Colourful patterns and textures set the tone. Together with plush fabrics and metallic surfaces, they form a harmonious interaction.

Large Urban rooms bring a different vibe with a size of 38 square metres, think stylish retro eyries above the metropolitan madness. The design captures the fast-paced rhythm of the city with its inspiring art pieces, colours, eclectic curios and skyscraper views. The bathrooms are made of recycled marble that was left over from other construction sites.

A tranquil retreat and world of wellness for all guests can be found on the ninth floor. Vida Spa offers a range of curated treatments designed to rejuvenate and restore balance. From massages and facials to ice baths and oxygen therapy, each service is crafted to promote wellbeing. The gym and outdoor infinity pool with a pool deck are also located here.

The hotel also offers co-working areas in the form of cages in its 8th-floor living room with a maxi bar. A total of 11 different creative lounges, located between the 9th and 53rd floor, add to the offer for meetings and events. They are furnished in different styles and can be converted into a private venue with a kitchen, depending on their use. The 530 sqm ballroom offers enough space for larger events. It sits on the eighth floor and has an outdoor terrace of almost 400 sqm with a view of the Jakarta skyline.

All public areas are furnished with an eclectic mix of original mid-century modern pieces. Latin American delicacies are on the menu in the main restaurant COPA where wood-infused charcoal grill-cooked goodies with large variable hot sauces meet spicy margaritas. Cocktails are served in the adjacent ODDBIRD BAR, best paired with tapas, tacos or crispy empanadas. Guests can enjoy plant-based food at CABANA pool deck. It is connected to the gym, the wellness area and the pool, making it a comprehensive holistic zone, for those who seek total relaxation. Two further restaurant and bar concepts are coming on the rooftop, set to be announced in the first quarter of 2025.
