blurting out...: Laras Asri Resort and Spa

On 3-5 jun 2009 I went to Salatiga, a city in central java, Indonesia.

it wasnt an occasion though, I had to go to a workshop that is held in one of the beautiful hotel in Salatiga City : Laras Asri Resort and Spa. It is located in Jl Panglima Sudirman, Salatiga, Central Java

because I live in Malang, East Java, I went there using travel service, which can deliver you directly to the location. From Malang it took me about 9,5 hours long to get there. you can go there by bus also.

Laras Asri is a very beautiful hotel. the scenery will make you want to stay there longer or even going back there!!

Here is the front part of the hotel, the entry.

Here is one of the ail in front of rooms on second floor

we will find a fountain before we go to the lobby

Here is a fish pond with fountains in the center, beautify the scenery when we look out from our room, you can see the pond either from first floor or second floor. While you sit enjoying your snack, chatting with relatives, the fresh air fills your lung, your ear hear the sound of the fountain and your eyes freshen.

And this is the swimming pool. i took the picture early in the morning, in order to capture the shadow from the trees surrounding it. afar you can see a gazebo that could be uses to relax while you are still swimming.

This is a decoration in the restaurant. this hotel has 2 restaurants, this one on the picture is located near the swimming pool. the restaurant give its japanese style do look stylish, placement of big mirrors making the room look wider.

This is the entrance to second floor function room.

The architecture of the hotel itself i think resembles the traditional central java houses called joglo. this is the front part of the hotel, where the lobby is. i took the picture early in the morning, trying to catch a star up above. can you see it?

okay..its the room interior..the hotel also has few cottages with large room in it, and large bathroom too...the one that i was stayed in is a regular room.

i think i am not explaining it in order, but thats okay...hehehehe... the picture below is the main lobby. when you taking picture at night, lamps everywhere can make your picture more beautiful.

this is also another side of the lobby.
i'll tell you a bit about the facility. beside swimming pool, restaurants, function rooms, this hotel also provide facilities such as spa, gym, mini zoo, downtown shuttle, merchandises, live karaoke every night, and billiard.
