Ancient capital of the rich and powerful Srivijaya kingdom, Palembang was once a wealthy trade hub and renowned centre of Buddhism. Visited by traders and holy men from as far afield as China and India, the city was awash in gold, spices, silks, ivories and ceramics. Today, Palembang is a dynamic and modern city, but evidence of its past glory can still be seen in the fine songket weaving that persists until today, as well as its renowned lacquerware, regal dances and opulent costumes. At Hotel Santika Radial Palembang, we combine local traditions with a natural touch to bring our guests the very best in Indonesian hospitality.
