Seminars and company events
Conferences of several hundred delegates, product launches and gala dinners fit in the Tentrem Ballroom, whose capacity chart runs to 1,250 guests, while nine smaller rooms serve board meetings, training days and breakout sessions of 12 to 70 people. Hotel Tentrem stands on Jalan P. Mangkubumi in Yogyakarta, the cultural capital of Java, on the main axis that leads south to Malioboro and the Kraton.
The ballroom covers 1,872 square meters under a 15-meter ceiling. It divides into three sections, Tentrem 1, 2 and 3, of 598 square meters each, so a plenary can run in one part while lunch is set in another. A foyer of 483 square meters in front of the ballroom handles registration, sponsor stands, coffee breaks and receptions for about 300 people.
For smaller groups the hotel lists nine meeting rooms named after Indonesian woods: Bakau, Bangkirai, Jati, Sonokeling, Kenari, Keruing, Mahogani, Malapari and Sonokembang. They suit workshops, executive meetings and training, and work as breakout rooms during a congress in the ballroom.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells three wedding formulas. An engagement package starts at 30 guests. An intimate wedding package takes place in the Summer Palace restaurant, at the Pool Bar or in the Kenari and Keruing rooms. The Tentrem Wedding Package is built around 140 guests and uses the ballroom, with its VIP room for changing and for a tea ceremony of 20 people. Menus can be Chinese, Indonesian or Western, served as a buffet or plated, and the larger package adds a wedding cake, a 6 by 4 meter projection screen and a sound system with wireless microphones.
Rooms and capacities
The ballroom chart gives 950 and 1,250 guests depending on the layout, and each third takes 300 to 400 people. Bakau, at 99 square meters, takes up to 70 people and 20 around a U-shaped table. Bangkirai, at 77 square meters, seats up to 50. Jati and Sonokeling take about 40 each. The five rooms of 42 square meters take up to 30 people, or 12 around a U-shape. Projection, sound and parking are part of the event offer.
Accommodation
Guests stay on site in eight categories: Deluxe, Premier and Executive rooms, then the Executive, Prambanan, Kraton and Wijaya Kusuma suites and the Tentrem Presidential Suite. Premier rooms have balconies over the pool, and some Executive Suites face it too, which gives speakers and VIP guests a quieter base.
Catering
Food is prepared in house. Summer Palace serves Chinese cuisine, Kayumanis Coffee Shop beside the pool covers all-day dining, and Eboni Bar and Lounge serves coffee, tea and snacks between sessions. Banquet menus follow the same Chinese, Indonesian and Western lines as the wedding offer.
History and setting
Tentrem is a Javanese word for peace and calm, and the hotel uses it as its guiding idea, the harmony between people and the world around them. Yogyakarta gives incentive groups a strong cultural program, with the Sultan's palace, batik workshops and the temples of Prambanan and Borobudur within reach for a day trip.
Getting there
Yogyakarta Tugu railway station lies a short drive south of the hotel, with trains from Jakarta and Surabaya. Yogyakarta International Airport handles domestic and regional flights. Coaches and cars can park at the hotel.
