Jakarta, FORTUNE - At Jakarta’s storied roundabout, where the city’s past and present quietly converge, Keraton At The Plaza enters a new era. As the first and only property in Southeast Asia under The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, the hotel has long embodied sophisticated restraint.
Now, it sharpens its identity with the transformation of "The Club" into Selera Keraton, a refined dining destination that reimagines Indonesian heritage through a contemporary, globally attuned lens.
Selera Keraton marks a shift from exclusivity to storytelling. Once known as "The Club," this redesigned sanctuary on the 7th floor now invites the public to experience a living tribute to the elegance of the Solo and Yogyakarta courts. Its architecture evokes a royal palace, guiding guests from the welcoming entrance to intimate enclaves like the Private Dining Room—centered on a chef’s table—and the vibrant energy of The Bar or Teppan room. Through this transformation, the property unites its culinary soul with its architectural spirit.
The menu at Selera Keraton is a dialogue between Indonesian authenticity and European fineness. While preserving the "philosophy of patience" inherent in traditional cooking, the kitchen introduces signature dishes inspired by the hotel’s European culinary track to create a more dynamic gastronomic journey.
At the iconic Bundaran Hotel Indonesia, a new chapter of luxury hospitality unfolds. Keraton At The Plaza, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, stands as the first and only property in Southeast Asia to carry this prestigious brand. More than a hotel, it is a sanctuary where heritage and sophistication converge.
The Taste of the Palace includes:
● Legendary Classics: Authentically prepared Gudeg Komplit, slow-cooked with teak leaves for a deep mahogany hue, and the aromatic Beef Rendang.
● The Kapiratu: A savory pancake once reserved exclusively for the keraton elite, now thoughtfully refined for the modern palate.
● Cultural Staples: The Bestik Jawa favored by the Sunan of Solo and the iconic Serabi Solo Notosuman.
New Rituals and Activations
To elevate the sensory experience, Selera Keraton introduces the "Sambal Sommelier" ritual—a bespoke service where guests are guided through a curated selection of Indonesia’s most refined chili pastes, each paired to complement the specific flavor profiles of their meal. This joins existing arrival rituals for guests checking-in, such as the welcoming Jamu Nusantara.
Enhanced activations and promotions now invite a broader audience to gather for unscripted moments—from refined luncheons to evening cocktails—ensuring every visit feels like a collectible story
Rooted in the splendour and heritage of Javanese tradition, Keraton At The Plaza offers a fully immersive, all-inclusive experience, from breakfast through refined luncheons to evening dining. Each moment is thoughtfully curated to honour Indonesia’s rich culinary heritage while embracing a broader, globally inspired perspective. Every detail reflects a deep appreciation of Keraton culture: guests are welcomed with jamu, presented with a batik kawung scarf, and immersed in a sensory journey shaped by bespoke scents and rituals that embody timeless elegance.
