The Slender Hotel / Sahabat Selojene

Standing on a narrow 2.8 by 12-meter terrain that used to be a neighborhood dumping ground, a slender hotel was constructed as an effort to introduce contemporary hospitality in Salatiga, Indonesia. With 200.000 people living in a cool climate due to its elevated position of 600 m from sea level, this town in Central Java is blessed with a vast view of surrounding mountains and lakes. With only seven rooms of different themes, the hotel is a new beacon, with its rooftop lounge becoming a hotspot to enjoy natural attractions amidst predominantly low-rise buildings. It's been dubbed the skinniest hotel ever.
