Archipelago, Southeast Asia’s largest hotel management group, has opened its first property in Lumajang, East Java, with the launch of Aston Inn Lumajang—the city’s first internationally branded hotel.
Located in the city centre, the hotel marks a key step in Archipelago’s plan to expand quality accommodation in this growing tourism and business hub. The soft opening was officiated by the Regent of Lumajang, along with representatives from the owning company and Archipelago’s management, in a ceremony featuring a commemorative plaque and virtual touch-screen inauguration.
Standing as Lumajang’s tallest building, Aston Inn offers 97 modern rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, multifunctional meeting spaces, and the city’s first Smart Room concept with Google Nest and integrated Smart TVs for a more connected and personalised stay.

Whether visiting for business or leisure, travelers can expect thoughtfully designed Smart Rooms, warm hospitality, and the reliable standards that Aston is known for—making every stay simple, seamless, and enjoyable.” said John Flood, CEO of Archipelago.
