<h2><b>WHY STAY?</b></h2>
<p>The inaugural Asian outpost for Hamburg-born 25hours Hotels offers a welcome burst of eccentricity in Jakarta’s polished Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD). <a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/jakarta/the-oddbird?DestinAsian">25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird</a> represents a breath of fresh air, injecting a casual sensibility, cultural wit, and maximalist design into a hospitality scene with a clear preference for minimalism. The high-rise lifestyle hotel channels the brand’s irreverent European spirit while staying rooted in local character; its playful yet sophisticated style is expressed in everything from art installations (like a jet-black cartoon sculpture by Indonesian artist Arkiv Vilamansa at the arrival lobby) to communal spaces that blur the line between work and play.</p>
<h3><b>THE NEIGHBORHOOD</b></h3>
<p>Rising 38 stories above the upmarket Ashta District 8 mall, <a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/jakarta/the-oddbird?DestinAsian">the hotel</a> offers sweeping views of Senopati—a leafy residential area whose main stretch now hosts some of the city’s best bars and restaurants. Its arrival lobby enjoys direct access to Ashta District 8’s mix of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and global brands. SCBD itself is home to the Indonesia Stock Exchange, gleaming office towers, and the popular open-air dining precinct SCBD Park. Senopati and the sprawling Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex are just minutes away in a taxi.</p>

<h4><b>THE FEEL</b></h4>
<p><a href="https://www.airmasasri.com/?DestinAsian">Airmas Asri Architects</a> has combined sleek modernity and traditional materials with aplomb. Batik-inspired perforated panels provide natural ventilation and visual interest, while the main lobby upstairs—framed by steel, glass, and wood—balances an industrial-chic look with pops of vibrant color. Interiors by 1508 London, Stylt Design, and EDG Singapore reflect the city’s cultural richness through two distinct aesthetics in the rooms: Garden, with soft hues and organic elements, and Urban: defined by brighter retro tones and geometric designs. Corridors on guest room floors are adorned with whimsical black-and-white illustrations by Barcelona-based Japanese artist Yoshi Sislay.</p>
<h5><b>GUEST QUARTERS</b></h5>
<p>Each of the 210 rooms at <a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/jakarta/the-oddbird?DestinAsian">25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird</a> features mid-century vintage furnishings. Think retro chairs, functional analog phones, and vinyl record players that add a nostalgic charm to the contemporary setting. Urban rooms have blue ceilings, framed artworks with a local twist, knickknacks sourced from street markets around the world, and walls that sport an interlocking pattern in white, indigo, and pastel blue. Garden rooms, meanwhile, are clad in botanical wallpaper incorporating traditional batik motifs of Jakarta’s Betawi people; larger ones come with hammock-like swing seats. Minibars are complimentary; high-tech touches include Bluetooth speakers and wide flatscreen TVs.</p>
<h6><b>FOOD AND DRINK</b></h6>
<p>At <a href="https://destinasian.com/jakarta-dining-copa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copa</a>, Chilean executive chef Matias Mardones brings Latin American flair to the table, with standout dishes being the seafood empanadas, fresh guacamole, and slow-cooked beef short ribs. Breakfast gets a Latin twist too, with <em>café con leche</em> and sweet pastries. For evening sips, The Oddbird Bar delivers a globally inspired cocktail menu where each drink pays homage to a legendary bird. Highlights include Tocororo, a Cuban-style rum cocktail, and Garuda, a punchy mix of <em>arak</em> (Balinese moonshine) and spice. By the outdoor pool, <a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/jakarta/the-oddbird/restaurants-bars/cabana/?_gl=1*1lv9s15*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjAyMzgwNTYyMS4xNzUzNTE1MzA3*_ga_5R5K7FBBL1*czE3NTM1MTUzMDYkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTM1MTUzMDYkajYwJGwwJGgxNjI2MzcwMzAz?DestinAsian">Cabana</a> offers a breezy escape with city views, cabanas with woven bamboo ceilings, and a relaxed menu featuring tropical bites and comforting local favorites.</p>

<h6><b>WELLNESS FACTOR</b></h6>
<p>On the ninth floor, the mainly open-plan <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFCy26vSUJW/?hl=en?DestinAsian">Vida Spa</a> channels a subterranean retreat with cave-like textures and ambient lighting. Facilities here include ice baths, an infrared sauna, and Indonesia’s first and only Neowell AirPod Oxygen Therapy chamber, designed to revitalize skin and counteract urban pollutants. There’s also an adjacent 24-hour gym.</p>
<h6><b>FAMILY MATTERS</b></h6>
<p>While the hotel caters primarily to business travelers, families will appreciate the 75-square-meter <a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/jakarta/the-oddbird/rooms/?DestinAsian">Gigantic Garden Room</a>. An extra bed can be added to accommodate a third guest; the spacious living area has an L-shaped sofa big enough for naps. Nearby family-friendly attractions include Habitat Park SCBD—a mini-zoo with capybaras—and indoor theme park KidZania Jakarta.</p>
<h6><b>SUSTAINABILITY CRED</b></h6>
<p><a href="https://25hours-hotels.com/jakarta/the-oddbird/?_gl=1*106sb9j*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjAyMzgwNTYyMS4xNzUzNTE1MzA3*_ga_5R5K7FBBL1*czE3NTM1MTUzMDYkbzEkZzEkdDE3NTM1MTUzMTYkajUwJGwwJGgxNjI2MzcwMzAz?DestinAsian">25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird</a> provides in-room drinking water in glass bottles and bath toiletries in biodegradable packaging. Behind the scenes, energy efficiency and waste reduction practices follow global guidelines set by the brand; kitchens prioritize local ingredients. The hotel also offers free rentals of Schindelhauer bicycles and Canvasco or Freitag bags (made from upcycled truck tarps and bicycle tubes), encouraging eco-friendly explorations of the surroundings. Guests can be ferried to and from the airport in the property’s own electric Volvo EX30.</p>
<h6><b>WHAT ELSE?</b></h6>
<p>Groups seeking out flexible meeting spaces will find a refreshing alternative in the Creative Lounges, which blend productivity with a sense of play. Rounds of table tennis between seminars are possible, while open pantries and communal tables add to the relaxed, informal vibe. Want to take home a piece of the experience? The 25h Things Shop just off the arrival lobby stocks a selection of exclusive merchandise, from quirky souvenirs to handmade crafts by local artisans.</p>
