There's a hotel in the Bogor hills that used to be called Neo+ Green Savana. Most people in Jakarta either forgot about it or never knew it existed. As of April 10, 2026, that hotel is gone — and in its place is something the Sentul City area has genuinely never had before.

Nawana by Alana is the first property under Archipelago International's newest brand, Nawana — a concept built entirely around the idea of a modern sanctuary. Not a resort trying to be a city hotel. Not a city hotel pretending to have vibes. Something in between, done on purpose.

What Is Nawana by Alana - and Why Does it Matter ?

Nawana by Alana is a 4-star hotel located in Sentul City, Babakan Madang, Bogor Regency, West Java, officially opened on April 10, 2026. It is operated by Archipelago International — Southeast Asia's largest privately owned hotel management group, with 300+ hotels across more than 45,000 rooms. The property sits approximately 45–60 minutes from central Jakarta via the Tol Jagorawi, exit Sentul City. Room rates and packages are available through www.archipelagohotels.com.

What Changed from Neo+ Green Savana?

This is where it gets interesting. Most hotel rebrands mean new signage and a coat of paint. Nawana by Alana went much further: a full interior redesign, new Junior Suite room categories, a brand-new Tanna Restaurant, expanded meeting rooms, a padel court, and — the headline act — a Grand Ballroom being built to hold 800 guests, which will make it one of the largest event venues in all of Bogor Regency.

The opening ceremony itself was staged with Sundanese performing arts — a deliberate nod to West Java's cultural identity, not just a generic ribbon-cutting.

"Luxury today is no longer about excess, it's about escape. Nawana by Alana is our answer to guests who don't want more, but want better." — John Flood, CEO of Archipelago International.

Is This the Right Hotel for a Jabodetabek Staycation?

The pitch to Jakarta residents is simple: get in a car, drive 45 minutes on the toll road, and arrive somewhere that genuinely feels far away. The Sentul hills provide that rare thing in the Jabodetabek corridor — actual greenery, actual quiet, actual cool air.

The 142 rooms are designed with nature-inspired interiors, pulling texture and color from the surrounding landscape. Tanna Restaurant sources local ingredients and treats them as the main character, not a footnote on the menu.

For families, there's a Rabbit House, flying fox, and a kids' playground. For corporate teams, there are modern meeting rooms and an outbound area. It's genuinely multi-format, which is rare for a property this size.

Here's the counterintuitive part: Nawana is a 4-star property, not 5-star. That's not a limitation — it's a positioning decision. Archipelago International is betting that the next wave of Indonesian travelers wants meaning over marble. They may be right.

Who Is the Nawana Brand?

Nawana is the newest brand in Archipelago International's 13-brand portfolio — joining names like Aston, Alana, Harper, and Kamuela. It sits in the upper-midscale to upscale segment, defined by nature-first design and what the brand calls "personalized sanctuary service." Nawana by Alana in Sentul City is the very first Nawana property in the world. If it performs, expect more.
