BALINEWS.ID — KoenoKoeni Hotel Semarang officially marked a major milestone in its development with a topping-off ceremony held on Monday (27/1/2026). The moment signifies the transition of the project into its next phase, reinforcing KoenoKoeni’s vision as a hospitality brand that intertwines cultural heritage with modern design in the heart of Central Java.
Originally conceived as a gallery café in Semarang showcasing curated antique collections, KoenoKoeni has grown into a hospitality concept rooted in collective memory, curiosity, and respect for local history. Each antique displayed is more than a decorative element. It represents craftsmanship, creativity, and stories passed down across generations.
This philosophy is now fully embodied in KoenoKoeni Hotel Semarang, a small luxury hotel designed to offer an experience-driven stay. By combining authentic Indonesian hospitality with refined contemporary aesthetics, the hotel is set to introduce a distinctive character to Semarang’s evolving urban hospitality scene.
The 111-room property is envisioned as a “portal through time,” where public areas highlight historical narratives while private spaces provide modern comfort and serenity. Guests can choose between Deluxe Rooms spanning 35 square meters and Executive Rooms measuring 70 square meters, with views overlooking the city, Mount Ungaran, and Semarang’s coastline.
A range of facilities further enhances the guest experience, including the all-day dining restaurant Roepa Rasa, lobby café Sapa Rasa, and the rooftop restaurant and bar Soeara Langit, offering panoramic city views. Additional amenities include meeting and event venues, an indoor swimming pool, spa, fitness center, children’s play area, 24-hour valet service, and electric vehicle charging stations.
Strategically located in Semarang, one of Java’s most historic cities and a gateway to cultural destinations such as Yogyakarta, Borobudur, and Surakarta, the hotel reflects the city’s role as a crossroads of history and culture.
“Antique objects are not meant merely to be seen, but to be understood. They carry values, craftsmanship, and stories from the past. Through KoenoKoeni Hotel Semarang, we hope guests can feel connected to history and leave with meaningful experiences,” the hotel management stated.
With the topping-off phase completed, KoenoKoeni Hotel Semarang is moving toward its scheduled opening in the third quarter of 2026. The hotel is expected to become a place where guests can pause, reflect, and connect with the cultural narratives that shape Semarang and its surroundings. (*)
