Imara Hotel Palembang

Glass, marble floors and warm timber accents define the lobby at Hotel Santika Premiere Bandara - Palembang. Asnawi Mangku Alam, within reach of the city's government offices and business quarter. It is a four-star property built for both work and rest. Inside, 155 rooms carry the brand's signature mix of Indonesian craft and contemporary line, with soft furnishings that nod to local weaving traditions without overstating them. You can expect a 24-hour front desk and room service, along with laundry facilities geared to travellers on tight schedules. Palembang itself carries deep history as the former seat of the Srivijaya kingdom, once a trading centre linking China and India, and traces of that past survive in the region's songket cloth and lacquerware, visible in shops and markets not far from the hotel. A shuttle service, offered for a fee, connects guests to the airport and surrounding city. Meeting rooms and event space suit corporate groups, while the location gives leisure travellers a base for exploring the Ampera Bridge and the Great Mosque of Palembang, both a short drive away. Check-in starts at 2pm.
