The disruption to transportation between Surabaya and Malang caused by the Lapindo mud volcano has been a disaster for many businesses, including those in the tourism sector. Fortunately, several airlines now offer direct flights between Jakarta and Malang, so visitors from Jakarta or other cities can fly directly to Malang, rather than flying to Surabaya and then suffering a tiring road journey.
The Hotel Santika Premiere Malang, opened in late 2005, has indirectly benefited from the opening of these direct flights. The hotel has 112 spacious rooms, all with balconies, and has rapidly become the first choice for businesspeople, government officials, and travelers – anyone who needs to go to the Malang area. Malang's strategic location as the gateway to Gunung Bromo, Gunung Semeru, the apple village of Poncokusumo, and the Pulau Sempu nature reserve off the south coast of Java makes the Santika Premiere the perfect place to stop off and acclimatize.
To meet the needs of business travelers, this modern minimalist hotel is equipped with Internet access and hot spots, a ballroom accommodating 500 persons, and four other meeting rooms. It's also a perfect choice for families; every weekend the hotel is packed with families enjoying an alternative holiday venue.
Apart from all its facilities, the hotel is to be especially commended for its very friendly staff and the amazingly speedy service they provide – and this is what guests really want.
