Jakarta, 7 January 2026 – Travel + Leisure Co. celebrates the richness of Indonesian cuisine by launching a new menu of curated Nusantara dishes for restaurant guests across five Wyndham hotels

Called the Wyndham Culinary Journey, the menu offers ten signature dishes inspired by the culinary heritage of Jakarta, Palembang, Bali, and Surabaya. It will be made available at all Wyndham-branded properties managed by Travel + Leisure Co.: Wyndham Casablanca Jakarta, Wyndham Surabaya City Centre, Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali, Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach Bali and Wyndham Opi Hotel Palembang.

From Jakarta, Wyndham Casablanca Jakarta presents buntut bakar Maranggi, a slow-grilled oxtail prepared until tender and served with a rich oxtail soup, full of savoury aroma and flavour.

Another featured menu is sari laut bakar dabu-dabu with grilled squid and prawns cooked together to bring out a fresh ocean aroma and rich savoury flavours. Served with dabu-dabu chilli sambal, the dish offers a balanced spicy and slightly sweet taste that creates a memorable dining experience.

Continuing the journey to Bali, Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali offers bebek goreng Jivva: duck slow cooked with traditional yellow spices before being fried. It is served with urap vegetables, sambal goreng, and Balinese sambal matah, delivering a balanced mix of texture and flavour.

Additionally, the resort will offer a local spin on an international favourite: miso moringa soup, made with ginger, chicken broth, and miso, combined with fish and prawns. Served warm, the dish offers both a satisfying flavour and nutritional value.

Wyndham Garden Kuta Beach Bali contributes a South Bali speciality: fresh snapper marinated with the hotel’s signature spices, steamed, and paired with sambal matah – producing a dish that is both flavourful and light.

Jakarta, 10 December 2025 – RIVA Grill & Terrace, the on-site restaurant at Wyndham Casablanca Jakarta, has unveiled a new menu with distinct French and international tastes.

Among its signature dishes is the crab cake 2.0, a golden crab croquette filled with savoury salmon cream and slow-grilled octopus. This combination blends the saltiness of the ocean with the richness of French cream, presented in a modern style.

Food lovers will enjoy the Mediterranean-inspired tomato salad, crafted from a vibrant selection of bright, refreshing, and naturally sweet, imported tomatoes. The French staple seafood bisque is also set to become a guest favourite. Its savoury comes from a slow-simmered blend of prawn, squid, and crawfish stock, creating a silky, richly textured base. A touch of black caviar on top adds delicate brininess and an elegant ocean aroma.

Adding to the indulgence is the sirloin cacio e pepe pasta, prepared with premium sirloin and a creamy, richly flavoured Italian sauce, alongside the Riva platter, which offers premium imported brisket, grilled prawns, fried chicken, and onion rings, served with a selection of special sauces.

For years, RIVA has been renowned for its Australian and US steaks and the centrepiece of this menu is the buttery Tajima MB5 wagyu, a high-quality Australian ribeye known for its tender texture and naturally rich flavour. Grilled using RIVA’s signature technique, this dish represents a true indulgence steak enthusiasts will not forget.

RIVA also presents its newest sweet creation, the chocolate sensation – a dome filled with brownies, cashew nuts, and vanilla cream, served with hot chocolate sauce poured over the top, creating a rich and indulgent finale to the dining experience.

“This new menu reflects our commitment to continuous innovation and our passion for offering classic dishes of the highest quality,” said Wing Wijaksana, Hotel Manager of Wyndham Casablanca Jakarta. “RIVA Grill & Terrace offers distinctive European cuisine that is flavoursome, full of character and features an indulgent twist,” he added.

To celebrate the menu launch, RIVA Grill & Terrace has introduced a special promotion called the Weekend Steak Festival – which offers 50 per cent off all steaks every Saturday and Sunday, with no minimum order and no discount limit, valid until the end of 2025.

RIVA Grill & Terrace offers an exceptional destination for food enthusiasts who love premium flavours and a refined dining experience in Jakarta. Its open-kitchen concept allows guests to watch each dish being prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients. The restaurant also connects directly to the lagoon pool, creating a warm and elegant ambiance that suits romantic dinners, business meetings, and relaxed casual dining.

The restaurant’s updated website at riva.co.id provides event information, special promotions and information about RIVA.

Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE:TNL), a leading leisure travel company providing more than six million vacations to travellers around the world every year, has announced the expansion of the Accor Vacation Club brand with the formation of a brand new Asia-based vacation club.

The first Accor Vacation Club Asia Pacific resort is the Novotel Bali Nusa Dua, Accor Vacation Club Apartments in the stunning Nusa Dua resort precinct, celebrated for its pristine beaches, breathtaking diving and snorkelling sites, and world class golf courses.

Members will be able to access this gem alongside thousands of vacation ownership resorts across the world through membership with a leading exchange provider.

The expansion in Asia comes after Travel + Leisure Co. last year acquired licensing rights for the Accor Vacation Club brand and the opportunity to launch new products or clubs in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye. Additionally, the rise of the sharing economy in Asia, and increase in wealth and disposable income for services like travel, strengthens the company’s strategic approach to foster growth and innovation as a multi-brand developer.

“The launch of Accor Vacation Club Asia Pacific is our next logical move in our plan to grow the Accor Vacation Club brand into new markets,” said Barry Robinson, President and Managing Director, International Operations, Travel + Leisure Co. “We are excited to combine the upscale experiences synonymous with Accor’s brands with the most innovative features in the vacation ownership industry to date for the benefit of travellers in Asia and beyond,” he added.

“The launch of the first Accor Vacation Club Asia Pacific resort marks an exciting stage in our growth strategy, supporting the continued growth of our franchised hotel network across Asia Pacific whilst aligning perfectly with our asset-light strategy,” said Duncan O’Rourke, CEO Accor MEA APAC – Premium, Midscale and Economy division. “By monetising our existing business and leveraging the resources and expertise of Travel + Leisure, we are offering our customers even more innovative and rewarding experiences.”

Accor Vacation Club Asia Pacific offers members a 20-year-term – shorter than most products within the shared ownership sector – a share of any net proceeds of property sales at the end of the club term, and a flexible fee payment for members who choose not to utilise the club in any given year.

The new club’s first property, Novotel Bali Nusa Dua, Accor Vacation Club Apartments, features a stunning 1,500 square metre lagoon pool nestled in a tropical garden, kids’ pool, playground, fitness centre, bar, restaurant, day spa, kids’ club and meeting rooms. The onsite beach club is a two-minute drive from the heart of the resort and a shuttle covers the trip regularly. The two- and three-bedroom apartments in the club offer separate living, dining and bedroom areas, a kitchenette and expansive terrace or balcony.
