HENDRA GUNAWAN ART & HI TEA
Immerse yourself in the works of Hendra Gunawan on an art tour of Raffles Jakarta, then retreat to the The Writers Bar for an artist-inspired high tea.
The artistic legacy of Hendra Gunawan is felt throughout Indonesia, and none more so than within the walls of Raffles Jakarta, which is home to an impressive collection of artwork by the renowned Indonesian painter. Located at the core of Jakarta’s golden triangle, the iconic hotel is not only an elegant resting place beyond the bustle of Indonesia’s great metropolis, but is also a celebration of homegrown artistry – particularly Hendra Gunawan. The hotel’s art concierge will take you on a personal guided tour and provide a deep understanding of the life of this inimitable artist, and then escort you to the adjacent Hendra Gunawan Museum, where the museum curator will provide context on the priceless original paintings housed there. Round off this Raffles experience with a high tea at The Writers Bar, where the playful and bespoke design tells the story of how Hendra’s talent began and sets the scene for a conversational space all of its own.
