LAYOUT AND CIRCULATION FLOW AT THE AKMANI HOTEL RESTAURANT, JAKARTA

Abstract

The spread of the Covid-19 virus in early 2020 in Indonesia made Indonesia's tourism business declined. With the continuation of the pandemic in 2021, hoteliers need a strategy to handle the current situation, such as providing staycation and fine dining packages at hotels. To implement this strategy, it is necessary to have a safe hotel interior in accordance with C.H.S.E certification as a guarantee of security for visitors. However, not all hotels in Central Jakarta have a safe enough interior, which is the Akmani hotel, a four-star boutique hotel in Jakarta which has a restaurant open to the public. Spatial planning and circulation flows that are not in accordance with applicable health protocols can increase the possibility of the Covid-19 virus spreading through accidental physical contact. The purpose of this study is to propose a safe spatial pattern and circulation flow for the interior of the Akmani hotel restaurant by paying attention to zoning, blocking and grouping as well as, movement circulation patterns and circulation distances for passing by so that there is no physical contact. The method used is by referring to the eight stages of the design process according to Kilmer's interior design theory. The result of this research is the application of loop and radial circulation by giving a distance of 1-2 meters for road circulation and 1-1.5 meters for the distance between furniture in the interior of the Akmani Hotel Jakarta restaurant.
