A seven-room lodge, situated in Indonesia, is making an attempt to bag the title of being the “world’s skinniest hotel”. This lodge is situated in Salatiga, Central Java. Architect Ary Indra returned to his hometown to remodel a small, neglected piece of land right into a five-storey lodge with distinctive rooms, measuring simply 2.8 meters vast. This slim marvel isn’t nearly its width; it’s an ode to Salatiga’s tradition.
PituRooms (Pitu is Javanese for “seven”), located on the foot of Mount Merbabu, affords company a view of the majestic mountain instantly from their lodge rooms. Compact but useful, each room features a double mattress, a small rest room with a bathe, and a rest room. Despite its measurement, every room boasts native art work, providing seven distinctive experiences. There can also be a bar and restaurant on the lodge’s prime flooring.
Ary Indra’s creation is a tribute to his hometown, inviting company to embrace Salatiga’s essence. More than a spot to remain, PituRooms is an easy but profound introduction to the unconventional attraction of a small city with a giant coronary heart.
“I want people to experience Salatiga in a new way,” Mr Indra informed CNN. “I own, designed and operate PituRooms with my own team. It has become my new platform to generate a new type of tourism which involves local communities.” He mentioned, “Aside from the technical difficulties, the biggest challenge was the typical mindset surrounding the hospitality industry that is used to superlative words: biggest, tallest, most luxurious. Here we are skinniest.”
“We tried very hard to turn this limitation to become our strongest selling point, that this is a built study of micro-space, and guests can experience the possibility of living and choreographing their movement in ‘just enough’ space,” the architect added.
Since PituRooms opened in December 2022, Mr Indra shared that 95% of their company have been from Indonesia. “So far the reaction we receive from our guests is that they are amazed by how little space is actually needed to live and move comfortably,” he mentioned.
