Jakarta’s hospitality welcomed an exciting new addition slightly more than a year ago — 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird — marking the 25hours brand’s first foray into Southeast Asia and immediately setting itself apart as one of the city’s most intriguing places to stay.

Perched high above Ashta District 8 in the Sudirman Central Business District, this 38-storey hotel blends bold design, nostalgic flair and vibrant energy to create a destination that feels more like a creative playground than a traditional urban hotel.

A Playground of Paradoxes

From the moment you step inside, The Oddbird makes it clear that this is not your typical hotel experience. Its interior language is a playful mix of mid-century modern furnishings, retro accents and whimsical art pieces, all designed to reflect Jakarta’s cultural contrasts — where heritage meets modernity. The brand’s mantra of “weird is wonderful” comes alive through bright colours, quirky spaces and unexpected details that invite guests to express themselves freely.

Guests can choose from a variety of thoughtfully curated accommodations, including Garden Rooms with earthy, nature-inspired tones and Urban Rooms with retro design elements like vinyl record players. These spaces offer comfort and character, with king-size beds, rain showers and panoramic views of Jakarta’s skyline that make lingering in your room part of the experience itself.

More Than Just a Room

The hotel goes beyond its stylish guestrooms to deliver a multitude of experiences under one roof. Creative Lounges — flexible meeting spaces spread across multiple floors — cater to today’s hybrid nomad, offering communal pantries and collaborative areas ideal for work and socialising alike. For larger gatherings, a spacious 530-square-metre ballroom with an outdoor deck lets guests host events against sweeping city views.

Wellness seekers are also well-served with the Vida Spa & Wellness on the ninth floor, where treatments range from massages and facials to ice baths, infrared saunas and oxygen therapy sessions. Adjacent to this is the rooftop infinity pool — an oasis above the bustling city where you can cool off with a refreshing drink from the poolside cabana bar while taking in Jakarta’s skyline.

Dining and Social Vibes

Food and drink are another highlight of The Oddbird’s experience. COPA, the hotel’s signature restaurant, brings Latin American flavours to life with wood-infused charcoal grill dishes and creative cocktails — perfect for sharing and savouring. Just steps away, The Oddbird Bar offers an atmospheric space for tapas and artisan drinks, while the Cabana by the Pool serves light bites and refreshing beverages in a relaxed, tropical setting.

A Base for Urban Exploration

Strategically located just a short walk from the Senayan MRT Station and directly connected to Ashta District Mall, the hotel makes exploring Jakarta’s vibrant neighbourhood effortless. Whether you’re here to browse galleries, discover local cafes, or dive into the city’s nightlife, 25hours Hotel The Oddbird provides a uniquely creative home base — where comfort, curiosity and character converge.
