Wyndham Panbil Batam
Muka Kuning, Panbil area; Batam, Indonesia
Wyndham Panbil Batam provides a greener backdrop than many of the island’s urban hotels. The Panbil setting brings gardens, hills and the nearby nature reserve into the outlook, while rooms and suites incorporate Bataknese design references within a contemporary hotel format. Dining ranges from Asian dishes to an Italian trattoria and a cocktail-and-smoked-brisket bar, giving guests several reasons to remain on site after a working day. An outdoor infinity pool, Eska Wellness Spa and fitness facilities broaden the appeal to leisure travellers, with children’s facilities adding flexibility for family visits. We recommend it for a work trip that needs room to unwind, or for visitors who prefer greenery to a shopping-centre address. Choose between garden and lake outlooks according to the actual room category. Nature-reserve visits and transfers should be arranged around opening conditions and the itinerary. The current name is Wyndham Panbil Batam, replacing the former Best Western identity, and the hotel is inland rather than a beachfront resort.
