Meetings for up to 162 people theatre style, receptions for 200 and weddings with a chapel ceremony can be held at Padma Hotel Bandung, a resort hotel on a hillside in the Ciumbuleuit valley, in the north of Bandung, West Java. A divisible ballroom, a seventh-floor room with a terrace, four smaller meeting rooms, a wedding chapel and bedrooms are all on the same site, so a group can meet, eat and stay without moving.
Seminars and company events
The Jacaranda ballroom on the fifth floor is the main room. Used whole, it takes 162 people theatre style, 105 in classroom layout and 120 at round tables, and 200 for a cocktail. It splits into Jacaranda 1 and Jacaranda 2, which suit parallel sessions of 50 and 80 theatre style, and a pre-function area outside the doors serves registration and coffee breaks.
On the seventh floor, the Champaca Room seats 80 theatre style or 45 in classroom layout. Its terrace adds space for a lunch, a dinner or a live performance in the open air, which works well for the closing evening of a seminar. Four Spathodea rooms complete the offer for small meetings and breakout groups. The hotel publishes separate pages for meetings, weddings and venues, and the events team answers by phone and WhatsApp.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings combine a ceremony in the Champaca Wedding Chapel, a glass-walled chapel for smaller ceremonies, with a reception in one of the function rooms or on the Champaca terrace. Three packages are offered, with minimum numbers of 125 or 150 guests. They include eight hours of use of two function rooms, a food tasting for up to six people, water during the reception and a bottle of sparkling juice for the toast. Menus range from a five-course Western set menu to international or Indonesian buffets.
