Revive The Phenomenon of Pizzeria

The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta is ushering in a new normal era with the opening of Pizzeria. Pizzeria has a concept of open space dining venue in the middle of urban jungle in the capital like it used to in 90’s era.

“This August, as we enter this next phase, we want our loyal guests to go out and enjoy our newly open "flash restaurant" named Sultan Pizzeria where they can enjoy fresh air and still can get food they want and socializing. But we want to do it safely and responsibly. We will monitor this outlet closely to make sure we do not see any unintended consequences." said Fintan O'Doherty, General Manager of The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta.

"At first start, we only open Sultan Pizzeria on weekends Friday to Saturday, that's why we call it as "flash restaurant". We also use this place for breakfast or even private function for those who want to have intimate outdoor weddings or gatherings. It also part of our hotel's reopening strategy to bring people back to our property." he continued.

Sultan Pizzeria is located in main tower of the hotel, near to Kudus Hall and infinity swimming pool. Next to it is tennis courts and jogging track. Sultan Pizzeria offering small bites, pizza, pasta as all time Italian’s favorite menu with cocktails and mocktails. Healthy smoothies and healthy juices also available. Sultan Pizzeria has best view with fountain in the middle of lush green open space area that can give guests experience a resort-like vibes.

Sultan Pizzeria is very accessible. Guests can go there walking from hotel lobby or direct to go there from gate in Gatot Subroto. It can accommodate up tp 50 people with physical distancing seating arrangement applied.

"We are lucky as we have 34 acres lush sprawling garden because using public open space to help our struggling business is a huge win. I’m incredibly pleased to see a simple straightforward application for our Sultan Pizzeria to succeed going forward,” said Fintan again.

"We welcome you all to Sultan Pizzeria. However, we also be sure to observe strict social distancing at all times. We all want to enjoy meals but must be vigilant to maintain our health and safety as a top priority; maintain distance, practice good hand hygiene, wear face coverings while not eating or drinking and stay home if sick." he concluded.

To launch this brand new outlet, The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta held media gathering to revive the phenomenon back then. Private function with health protocol applied attended by 30 participants from online, offline media and social media influencers. This event sponsored by Alleira Batik, The After work and MedPro.

Wilson Associates Debuts Canopy by Hilton Charlotte SouthPark

First Canopy Hotel in North Carolina Offers Boutique Southern Charm, Local Touches

Located in the neighborhood of SouthPark—six miles from the core of uptown Charlotte, Canopy by Hilton Charlotte SouthPark opened last month, becoming the first Canopy hotel in North Carolina.

Providing guests with an experience inspired by Southern heritage and local design elements, this 150-room hotel offers an upscale, yet hospitable, environment reflected through its interiors as a natural extension of the community.

Global interior architecture firm Wilson Associates’ New York studio drew design inspiration from a gracious Southern home with English origins that still resonates today in a lifestyle of relaxed formality—where comfort and graciousness are key elements of the South.

Upon entering the foyer in the lobby, guests are greeted by an elegant console and beautiful flower arrangement, which leads to the reception desk. The lobby has been conceived as the grand room of the “home”, which features layered textures and a white-washed color palette for a fresh, clean and casual atmosphere—similar to traditional Southern residences.

The Lobby Retreat offers a comfortable arrangement of modern and traditional furniture set around an open fireplace. Also ideal for social gatherings, Fine & Fettle is the hotel’s official restaurant, serving a modern spin on the Southern experience. Fine & Fettle provides a residential-inspired communal table and furniture adorned with touches of traditional fabrics and pops of color.

This space showcases a marble countertop bar and a faceted mirror wall along with traditional vintage plate-ware art installation. Bridging the gap between the outdoors and indoors, the Canopy Central is connected to the Verandah.

The hotel provides 150 “Just Right” guest rooms, including four suites, that showcase a modern spin on Southern traditional bedrooms.

The design highlight of the accommodations is the Canopy bed, inspired by the traditional half tester bed, which is reinterpreted as a sculptural, wooden modern version of draped fabric canopies.

I keeping with the Southern style theme, the guest rooms provide Canopy’s signature “uncloseted” open wardrobe with Southern louver screens as the main element to define this brand component.

Traditional and contemporary furniture pieces are mixed in the guest rooms to provide a residential feel—all anchored by an area rug with a vibrant pattern and colors, inspired by a commonly used technique of flame-stitch fabrics.

The Southern residential inspired aesthetic continues throughout the extensive meeting and event areas, totaling 9,000 square feet. The design of the grand ballroom and smaller breakout rooms draws inspiration from a home study and library with rich finishes and curated artwork from local artists.

A the carpeting features North Carolina tartan-inspired patterns and colors—tying back to the roots of SouthPark. The layout of the event spaces ensures that the grand ballroom is connected to the terrace while the elegant butler’s pantry supports both the event space and garden terrace.

The fitness center’s design captures the energy of the space by offering a playful use of colorful wallpapers that have “traditional” prints with a twist — unexpected contemporary “objects” not found in its original versions are inserted in the patterns.

Berkolaborasi dengan seniman muda berbakat, Diela Maharanie, Nespresso menghadirkan rangkaian kopi khusus ‘Barista Selections’, mengajak para penikmat kopi untuk bisa menjadi barista dari rumah masing- masing.

Mark Ashlin Senior, Brand Director Nespresso Indonesia mengatakan, “Kami melihat kentalnya budaya minum kopi di Indonesia, terutama bagi kaum muda dengan tren kopi susu yang banyak digandrungi beberapa tahun belakangan ini. Bertepatan dengan HUT Indonesia, kami ingin mengajak generasi muda untuk berkreasi menjadi barista dari rumah untuk membuat sajian kopi favorit mereka dengan mesin kopi Nespresso.”

Rangkaian kopi ‘Barista Selections’ terdiri dari lima varian best seller Nespresso Indonesia yang cocok dihidangkan dalam sajian kopi susu. Terdiri dari: Ispriazione Palermo Kazaar, Ispirazione Ristretto Italiano, Ispirazione Firence Arpeggio, Ispirazione Roma, dan Master Origin Indonesia. Kelima varian ini akan hadir dalam bundle packaging khusus rancangan Diela Maharanie yang mulai tersedia di gerai Nespresso mulai 1 Agustus 2020.

Diela Maharanie, seniman dan ilustrator, mengatakan, “Saya sangat tertarik ketika diberi kesempatan untuk berkolaborasi dengan Nespresso Indonesia. Pada ilustrasi ini, saya mencoba untuk menggambarkan konsep sustainability Nespresso, dimulai dengan pemetikan ceri kopi hingga menjadi kapsul kopi, setiap prosesnya selalu mengutamakan kepedulian terhadap ekosistem, masa depan dan komunitas petani.”

Melalui kampanye ‘Be Your Own Barista’, Nespresso Indonesia mengajak penikmat kopi untuk meracik resep kopi favorit masing-masing dari rumah. Dengan lima varian yang terdapat di dalam koleksi ini, penikmat kopi dapat bereksplorasi mengkreasikan sajian kopi susu favoritnya, cukup dengan menekan tombol di mesin kopi Nespresso.

Selain menciptakan kopi dengan kualitas tinggi, Nespresso juga selalu mengedepankan konsep sustainability. Sesapan terakhir kopi Anda menandakan dimulainya fase lanjut dari kapsul kopi yang sudah dipakai. Aluminium dari setiap kapsul Nespresso sudah pasti dapat didaur ulang. Di Indonesia, ampas kopi dari tiap kapsul yang sudah dipakai dikirim ke pertanian di Jawa Barat, untuk diolah sebagai kompos. Setiap upaya dalam mendaur ulang yang kita lakukan akan menghasilkan dampak positif terhadap lingkungan hidup.

Koleksi ‘Barista Selections sudah tersedia di seluruh gerai Nespresso Indonesia dan di NESPRESSO

Beberapa Tips Liburan Anti Gagal Dengan Perencanaan Keuangan yang Matang

Banyak kegiatan di dalam rumah selama pandemi Covid-19 memaksa seseorang untuk menahan rasa bosan dan jenuh selama 4 bulan terakhir. Tak jarang orang tua yang biasanya fokus dengan pekerjaannya, kini harus membagi waktu untuk juga mengawasi buah hati selama proses pembelajaran sekolah secara daring.

Meski segala kegiatan bisa dilakukan di rumah saja, nyatanya manusia tetap perlu untuk melakukan kegiatan di luar rumah sebagai salah satu cara mengganti suasana dan mood. Walaupun pandemi ini belum sepenuhnya berakhir, tak ada salahnya untuk merencanakan liburan bersama keluarga untuk memperbaiki kondisi jiwa yang sudah dipenuhi kejenuhan kan?

Tapi tunggu dulu, liburan bersama yang seru harus dirancanakan secara matang agar biaya yang dikeluarkan bisa seefisien mungkin. Yuk, simak beberapa tips liburan anti gagal dengan perencanaan keuangan di era new normal Covid-19!

1. Pisahkan pos-pos pengeluaran dan tabungan

Hal wajib yang perlu kalian lakukan adalah memisahkan pos pengeluaran-pengeluaran tertentu dan juga memisahkan tabungan kalian. Kalau pos pengeluaran, kalian bisa memakai bekas toples makanan yang tidak terpakai dan ditulis sesuai dengan pos pengeluarannya. Jangan lupa untuk tabungan pun perlu dipisahkan ya. Jangan menabung liburan di rekening yang sama untuk menerima gaji. Bisa-bisa kamu nggak sadar, kalau tabungan liburanmu terpakai.

2. Bujet uang jajan anak dilokasikan untuk biaya sewa penginapan

Karena pandemi ini kita dianjurkan untuk tetap di rumah saja, secara otomatis pula pemerintah memberlakukan sistem pembelajaran daring untuk siswa-siswa di Indonesia. Tak terkecuali untuk anak-anak kita.

Sistem pembelajaran daring atau pembelajaran jarak jauh memang tidak mudah, tetapi setidaknya bisa melindung anak-anak kita dari serangan virus Covid-19. Di satu sisi, pembelajaran jarak jauh ini dapat menghemat pengeluaran kita sebab pos biaya uang jajan anak tidak terpakai selama kurang lebih 4 bulan. Ini merupakan celah yang baik untuk dialokasikan menjadi biaya sewa penginapan untuk rencana liburan mendatang lho.

3. Bujet uang transportasi selama WFH dialokasikan untuk biaya transportasi liburan

Karena segala pekerjaan harus dikerjakan dari rumah, mau tidak mau pos uang transportasi kerja juga utuh selama masa pandemi ini. Kalau kamu benar-benar ingin mencicil tabungan liburan, boleh dicoba mengalokasikannya ke biaya transportasi liburan seperti ongkos pesawat dan kereta. Jadi pengeluaran dan pemasukan tetap aman seperti layaknya kondisi normal meskipun haru disisihkan untuk menabung, kan?

4. Bujet makan di luar dialokasikan untuk biaya makan selama liburan

Ini adalah bagian terpenting dari proses menabung, yakni menahan hawa nafsu untuk jajan makan di luar diganti menjadi makan makanan sehat bergizi yang dibuat di rumah. Selain menghemat keuangan, makan makanan hasil olahan sendiri jauh lebih sehat dan terjamin kebersihannya.

Jadi untuk beberapa waktu ke depan, mohon ditahan dulu segala hasrat untuk mencicipi makanan di luar. Karena percaya deh, pengeluaran makan di luarmu bisa kamu tabung untuk biaya makan selama liburan. Loh, tadi katanya mau berlibur? Harus konsisten menabung ya sobat.

Itulah tadi beberapa cara untuk berlibur dengan merencanaan keuangan secara optimal. Pastikan juga untuk melakukan perencanaan liburan secara efisien dengan survei tempat wisata dan akomodasi di Traveloka ya.
