Histori

After the opening of the Great Pos Road in 1810, many colonial money plantations were established in the Preanger area. During the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, Bandung has become a popular business, shopping and recreation destination for wealthy planters, especially on weekends. As a result, the hotel business is blooming in the city. The predecessor of this hotel, Homann Hotel was built in 1871-72, owned and run by the Homann family. The place was famous for Mrs. Rijsttafel. The homannas were delicious. The first small building was designed in Gothic-Romantic style. In 1939, the hotel was rebuilt with a curved art deco style, designed by architect Albert Aalbers. To emphasize its grandeur and opulence, the name "Savoy" was added in the 1940s, which remained unchanged until the 1980s. Some of his celebrity guests during the Dutch East Indies era were Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford.

During the Japanese occupation of World War II (1942-45), the hotel served as a luxury barracks for the Japanese army. In 1955, when the first Asian-African Conference was held in Bandung, Savoy Homann hosted VVIP guests and became part of the Historical Walk. Some of the guests were Soekarno, Ho Chi Minh, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, U Nu, Zhou Enlai, Gamal Abdul Nasser, and Tito.

In the 1990s the hotel was renovated and new wings were added. Today the hotel was purchased under the management of the Bidakara Group, so its name was changed to Savoy Homann Bidakara Hotel.
