Swiss-Belhotel Danum
The Swiss-Belhotel Danum is a branch of the international chain of Swiss-Belhotels. This 4-star hotel is conveniently located 25 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from Rungan Sari.
With its open, relaxed and tranquil resort ambiance, this hotel has been chosen as one of the venues to host the World Congress – specifically, the first five days, and final two days of the programme.
The hotel contains a total of 150 rooms for accommodation, as well as a comprehensive suite of business meeting spaces and a large ballroom.
Rungan Sari
Rungan Sari has been chosen to host the World Congress from the sixth to the ninth day of the programme. With a history spanning back to its first enterprises in the 1980s, and the first constructions in the late 1990s, Rungan Sari is the living example of Bapak’s advice and receivings, which were that Kalimantan should be a centre for Subud’s enterprises and projects.
Within Rungan Sari there is a meeting centre and resort, two latihan halls and a significant number of enterprises and projects that continue to influence the local area. Rungan Sari and its surroundings are home to over 150 Subud residents and a sizeable Subud group.
Family Programme
The World Congress Organising Team (WCOT) has established a dedicated family space in both the Swiss-Belhotel (during days 1-5 and days 10-11) and Rungan Sari (during days 6-9). The space is open for families with children aged 4 to 11 to visit. Children below the age of 4 are welcome, but must be supervised by a parent at all times.Older children are welcome but won’t be under theresponsibility of our caretakers.
The room will be equipped with various games, and arts and craft supplies. It will also be supervised daily by designated congress staff and local BCU school teachers during congress business hours (9am to 6pm in Palangka, and 9:30am to 5:30pm in Rungan Sari). In addition to the free-play materials set out, these staff members will also run a range of fun activities and games for kids.
The family programme is free of charge and the family room is open at all times, however there will be no staff present outside of congress business hours. Should any Subud members require extra supervised childcare outside of these hours, this can be arranged for a separate fee.
