BANDUNG, INDONESIA: Hilton Bandung has unveiled a selection of excursions and activities for families built around day trips that make the most of Bandung's refreshing cool climate and get to the heart of a relatively undiscovered destination.

The Cool Change! Escapes series blends adventure with culture through a number of special sojourns such as hiking and picnicking on a volcano, rain forest zip-line flights, learning how to play with the local Angklung orchestra, cooking Sundanese cuisine and biking through pine tree woodlands.

All of the experiences are specially tailored to families, offering non-digital activities as well as the quality assurance of the city resort's My Little Hilton program. This program also provides children with privileges and surprises all of their own, including a special Kids' Check-In, welcome amenities and children's menus and spa packages.

"Our new Cool Change! activities have been designed especially with families in mind, so that parents are able to bond with their children by doing great fun outdoor activities together, while back in the hotel the little ones are also able to feel specially treated," said Scott Wilson, general manager, Hilton Bandung. "Mums and Dads are able to take advantage of our My Little Hilton program that provides them the opportunity to have some time together too while having complete peace of mind that their children are being taken care of with engaging and beneficial activities."

"Bandung is a postcard-photogenic holiday destination and one of Asia's best-kept secrets, with delightful Dutch Colonial heritage and architecture, warm people and a refreshingly cool hill station climate." Wilson added on Bandung as a dream location for keen photographers and the Instagram generation.
