The holiday season is now practically on our doorstep, and The Gaia Hotel Bandung is determined to make this year’s festivities the one worth remembering for years to come with their various offerings to end the year on a fantastic note. Known as a five-star sanctuary with its sprawling outdoor landscape, be prepared to immerse yourself and your loved ones in the hotel’s dazzling Christmas light and scrumptious culinary indulgence. 

This year’s theme, “Christmas is Precious,” is a fitting tribute to the season’s essence—reminding us to share love, joy, and meaningful moments with those closest to our hearts. The Gaia Hotel Bandung ensures the spirit stays alive all month, with weekend performances featuring the Resident Choir, Flash Mob surprises, and Santa Claus appearances. For those in search of a touch of musical magic, don’t miss the Christmas Concert on 21 December, where the Anime String Orchestra will take the stage for an evening of serene melodies.

Naturally, no Christmas is complete without a hearty feast. Guests can delight in festive fare at both hotel restaurants:

Semeja Asian Kitchen will present an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch on 25 December and indulgent dinner spreads on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (24 & 25 December). Expect culinary favourites like Roast Turkey, Prime Brisket, Tasmanian Salmon en-croute, sushi, sashimi, and even local delights like roast goat. A sweet tooth will also be rewarded with festive desserts such as Yule log, stollen, Panettone, and more. Lunch is priced at IDR 295,000 nett per person, while dinner is IDR 395,000 nett per person.

For a more refined twist, Monomono Bar & Social Dining offers a 5-course set menu blending the bold, authentic flavours of Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei cuisine. A steal for IDR 450,000 nett per person for lunch and IDR 595,000 nett per person for dinner.
