Jalan Slamet Riyadi

Guest sentiment

A batik-inspired Alila hotel rising above Solo's main commercial avenue, with the highest rooftop lounge in Central Java and the region's largest ballroom.

Last updated August 8, 2026

Alila Solo rises above Jalan Slamet Riyadi, Solo's main avenue for dining and retail, with batik-inspired design throughout and Central Java's largest ballroom and event space. Guests consistently praise the spacious pool, modern gym, and rooftop lounge -- reviewers call it the highest in Central Java -- along with attentive, friendly staff and immaculate rooms. A handful of guests report noise issues and some dissatisfaction with parking and room assignment, but the hotel is widely regarded as a genuine five-star option in a city with fewer international luxury hotels than Bali or Jakarta.
