Malang is one of the cities with complete tourist destinations. Not only filled with various natural attractions, but Malang also has many artificial tours. If you are on vacation in Malang, it feels incomplete if you don't visit hotels in Malang. One of the unique hotels that travelers must-see is the Kapal Garden Hotel by the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM). Moreover, it has a Capsule Room and Café that offers mountain views.
The hotel, located in the Sengkaling Recreation Park area, is one of the thematic hotels that carry the feel of a cruise ship. The layout and interior inside and outside of the hotel are made as close to a boat. Uniquely, the windows in this hotel are also designed round like the windows on the ship. In addition, the employees also wear clothes such as room stewards on cruise ships.

The Manager of Kapal Garden Hotel by UMM, Teguh Hadi Saputro, S.Pd., MA, explained that initially, this hotel building was a hall that supported various meetings at the Sengkaling Recreation Park. However, since UMM took over in 2018, this building has changed its function into a thematic hotel.
"This building was designed like a ship from the start because Sengkaling carries the theme of water tourism. When UMM acquired Sengkaling, we thought about changing its function into a hotel. This was because thematic hotels were a rarity at that time," said the man born in Batu City.
Besides providing a room, Kapal Garden Hotel by UMM also rents out a cabin dormitory with a concept similar to a capsule hotel. Teguh, his nickname, says that this cabin dormitory is perfect for backpackers. In addition to staying comfortably, the price charged for an overnight stay is also relatively cheap, ranging from 90,000 to 130,000 thousand rupiahs.
