Shangri-La Surabaya stands beside the residential district of Darmo, bringing a resort-like scale of lawns, palms and outdoor space into one of Java’s largest cities. Guest rooms and suites are designed with generous proportions, soft textiles and broad windows looking across the hotel grounds or the surrounding neighbourhood. The property includes restaurants, a health club, outdoor pool, spa and tennis courts, giving its social spaces more greenery than a typical urban hotel. From the pool terrace, the tower rises above tropical planting and shaded paths off Jalan Mayjend Sungkono.
