Book an exclusive space during SAIL!

During SAIL, we transform Malabar and our Lounge into ‘exclusive boarding zones’ inspired by the history of our location – formerly the Passenger Terminal of the Stoomvaartmaatschappij Nederland. You can hire these unique spaces from us per part of the day, of course we will provide the catering and our team will be happy to think along with you about the interpretation.

FAQ

SAIL Amsterdam will take place from 20 to 24 August. On Wednesday 20 August, all tall-ships and other many ships from around the world sail into Amsterdam. Five days later, on Sunday 24 August, all ships sail out of the city again and SAIL ends.

To get to Hotel Jakarta by car, you will need an exemption ticket. During SAIL, Hotel Jakarta will therefore only be easily accessible on foot or by bicycle. Footbridges will be constructed across the water to reach the hotel on foot. Cyclists can reach the hotel via the Connection Dam on the East side of Java Island.

Our Meeting & Events team is ready to make you a tailor-made proposal based on your requirements. Make an enquiry via this page or contact us directly by emailing meetingenevents@hoteljakarta.nl or calling 020-2360000.

Yes, Malabar is also open to individual guests. As a hotel guest, access to the bar is free. If you are not staying at Hotel Jakarta, access to the best view of SAIL is only €15 per person.
