Java Lotus’s 4th anniversary

_{Four Years of J-Lo Hotel Jember: “Let’s Go Around the World”}

JEMBER: Java Lotus (J-Lo) Hotel Jember proudly celebrated its fourth-anniversary last night (November 1, 2024). The theme, “Let’s Go Around the World,” inspired J-Lo’s new direction to become more globally minded. The aim is to attract more international tourists to Jember without losing its identity as a key player in Indonesian tourism with Pandalungan culture at its core. Through this, the hotel seeks to introduce the warmth, friendliness, and humanity of the Nusantara community to the international market. In a global, digitalized era, distance has become less relevant, and uniqueness and authenticity are essential in attracting travel enthusiasts.

The Four-Year Celebration of Java Lotus (J-Lo) Hotel also marks its commitment to growth and to developing a business strategy with a more global focus. J-Lo remains dedicated to the vision and mission of the Pandalungan tradition—J-Lo Tradition—as the standard for world-class service.
