Rooms
The 347-key hotel offers 140 twin rooms of various categories, making it a cinch for event planners to accommodate larger groups of delegates.
I love that even the Deluxe Room, the humble lead-in room category, was spacious and impressive. It measures a generous 40m2, and once the sliding walls between the bedroom and the bathroom are retracted, the room feels even more spacious.
MICE Facilities
Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel has a few things to boast about when it comes to business events offerings.
Kraton Grand Ballroom, which seats 2,500 people theatre-style or 1,650 banquet guests, is recognised as the largest venue of its kind in the city. The ballroom can be split into three smaller sections, each good for 750 pax in a theatre setup.Supporting the ballroom are seven meeting rooms that can host events with 100 to 140 guests, theatre style.
These venues are placed together in an area with a dedicated entrance, ensuring privacy for event attendees.
Large pre-function spaces allow for easier crowd control.
Another pride of the hotel is its event technology. All meeting rooms are fitted with 176-programmable pillow lights, adjustable ceiling lights which can produce 360 different colours – the first hotel in town with this feature – as well as high-steel platforms and catwalk structures.
Planners and event attendees also enjoy the support of the Marriott’s Meeting Service App, which allows service requests to be made in real time.
The hotel takes events support a step further by providing free booking tools, allowing attendees to easily reserve accommodation, as well as mobile check-in.
Other facilities
There are three F&B outlets in the hotel: The Yogyakarta Kitchen all-day dining restaurant; Taman Sari Bar & Grill, a Mediterranean casual eatery by the pool; and the Lounge.
For relaxation, there is Quan Spa, a 24-hour fitness centre, and an indoor and outdoor pool with a whirlpool that comes surrounded by tropical gardens and a sun deck.
