Since its founding in 2001, 25hours has built a loyal following with 16 properties across the world, from Berlin and Zurich to Paris and Copenhagen. Jakarta is the latest city to adopt the brand’s wonderfully offbeat sensibilities, and The Oddbird does so with an identity that mirrors the capital itself: fast-paced yet deeply rooted, modern yet soulful, and eclectic yet unmistakably Indonesian. Inspired by mid-century architectural cues, the hotel celebrates real people, real tastes, and real experiences – a refreshing proposition in a city where polished formality often takes centre stage.
Rooms that tell a Jakarta story
Each of the 210 rooms and 135 residences is designed as a little narrative of the city – lush, textured, and delightfully unpredictable.
The Garden Room feels like a private sanctuary in the middle of the urban jungle. With a separate living and sleeping area, a king-size bed, a rain shower and bathtub overlooking the skyline, it brings together Jakarta’s contrasts in one space. Thoughtful perks add to the experience: a Schindelhauer bike to roam the city, a complimentary “millibar,” and even a canvas or Freitag bag for guests to borrow during their stay.
Those who prefer a retro-chic aesthetic will gravitate toward the Urban Room, a mid-century escape accented by vibrant décor, marble bathrooms, and, perhaps the hotel’s most charming touch, a vinyl player for those slow mornings or winding-down evenings. Larger suites like the XL Urban Room and XL Urban Living Room further expand the playground, offering airy layouts made for longer stays and a more residential feel.
Spaces made for creative minds
Designed with modern travellers and urban creatives in mind, 25hours Hotel Jakarta The Oddbird goes beyond a place to sleep. Its Creative Lounges span the 9th and 53rd floors, each one a flexible meeting space styled with communal pantries and perfect for brainstorming sessions, intimate gatherings, or casual co-working. The property also features a generous 530 sqm ballroom with an outdoor deck framed by panoramic city views, ideal for both corporate events and social celebrations.
On the wellness front, the Spa & Wellness floor introduces a tranquil retreat above the city. Curated treatments range from massages and facials to ice baths, oxygen therapy, IV drips, and an infrared sauna. It’s a holistic approach to modern wellbeing with equal parts detox, recharge, and recalibration.
A taste of Latin America in Jakarta
Foodies will want to head straight to COPA, the signature restaurant helmed by Chilean Executive Chef Matias Mardones. Located on the 8th floor, COPA brings Latin American flavours to life through wood-infused charcoal grills, spicy margaritas, and mezcal negronis, which is a vibrant match for Jakarta’s energetic dining scene.
For something more laid-back, Cabana by the infinity pool serves plant-forward bites and cooling cocktails, creating a breezy hideaway for guests to lounge, dip, and daydream.
