History

The site of the current Grand Indonesia was previously occupied by Hotel Indonesia and Hotel Inna Wisata. Hotel Indonesia was the first five star hotel in the archipelago, being the most prestigious hotel at the time it was built. The development of the building was initiated by the first Indonesian president, Soekarno, who was also an architect. Hotel Inna Wisata was built in 1970s as a midclass accommodation, located behind Hotel Indonesia. All of the buildings in the complex except the original Hotel Indonesia building were torn down to make way for Grand Indonesia.

The complex

Grand Indonesia comprises Grand Indonesia Shopping Town, Hotel Indonesia - Kempinski, Kempinski Residences, and Menara BCA. The complex is built on the site of former Hotel Indonesia and Hotel Inna Wisata. The US$242 million project is funded by a major cigarette company, Djarum, under a 30-year BOT contract.

The operation and management of the mall was awarded to Jones Lang LaSalle while the hotel and apartments are managed by the Kempinski international hotel chain. BCA, the leading national bank, occupies most of the office floors.

Kempinski Residences

A new Kempinski Residence was designed by RTKL architects and managed by the Kempinski group. This new building has 57 storey.

Hotel Indonesia – Kempinski

Hotel Indonesia, the first 5-star hotel in Indonesia, was restored under the guidance of Kempinski and Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA). With five restaurants and lounges, along with 280 suite style guest rooms, the Hotel Indonesia - Kempinski boasts such luxury for Indonesian's riches and expatriates. Two of the legendary rooms in the hotel, The Bali Room and The Ramayana Pavilion were also kept. The Bali Room, initially used as a meeting room and an auditorium, was transformed into the new hotel ballroom. No design changes were made in The Ramayana Pavilion, particularly in the shape of its dome, although its function was changed into executive lounge of Hotel Indonesia Kempinski.
