Rising above Surakarta in Central Java, Alila Solo places contemporary high-rise architecture within reach of the city's royal palaces and batik districts. Its rooms and suites use timber, stone and patterns derived from Javanese craft, with broad windows looking across the city and surrounding landscape. Epice serves Indonesian and international dishes from open kitchens, while Agra occupies the rooftop with indoor and outdoor seating. The sixth-floor leisure deck contains a swimming pool, children's pool and fitness centre, and Spa Alila provides treatment rooms elsewhere in the tower. Laweyan's batik workshops and the Mangkunegaran and Kasunanan palaces are readily reached by road.
