Madiun, August 2024 – The 17th of August celebration, marking the 79th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia, was a moment of great anticipation. Aston Madiun Hotel & Conference Center, as the only 4-star hotel in Madiun, took this excitement to new heights by hosting a unique flag-raising ceremony on the rooftop of the 16th floor of Aston Madiun. This historic event, held on August 17th, 2024, was the highest flag-raising ceremony ever in the City of Madiun. The ceremony, attended by all staff of Aston and favehotel Madiun, as well as Success Jaya Food & Beverage, who wore traditional attire from various regions of Indonesia, not only symbolized the celebration of independence but also served as a momentum to instill the spirit of struggle in enhancing services for guests.
“We drew inspiration from the spirit of our heroes' struggles to continue providing the best service. As the only 4-star hotel in Madiun, we were committed to raising service standards by implementing values such as speed, accuracy, and attentiveness to guests' needs. This was part of our efforts to keep growing and leading in the hospitality industry,” said Danie R. Lapod, Cluster General Manager of Aston Madiun Hotel & Conference Center and favehotel Madiun.
Aside from the flag-raising ceremony, Aston Madiun Hotel & Conference Center hosted a range of competitions such as badminton, table tennis, Zumba, and independence-themed contests. These activities were followed by a thanksgiving ceremony. To further enhance the celebration, the hotel presented various attractive promotions, including the 'Merdeka Great Sale' offering a stay in a Superior Room at Aston and a Standard Room at favehotel for just IDR 79,000,-on August 17th, 2024.
A 17% discount for lunch and dinner was also available throughout August as part of the independence celebration and our commitment to providing an unforgettable stay experience for our guests. It was hoped that holding the flag-raising ceremony in the tallest building in Madiun would become a symbol of the high spirit of independence among all employees so they could improve friendly, fast, and precise services and provide the best experience for our guests.
