Shaking Cocktails and Dropping Beats: Meet Lingga, Padma Hotel Semarang’s Multi Talented Bartender

After introducing the next generation of Padma Legends from our other destinations, we now turn to Padma Hotel Semarang. As the youngest member of the Padma Hotels family, this property has quickly won the hearts of its guests with exceptional facilities and the signature warmth of Indonesian hospitality that defines the Padma brand.

One of the shining stars of Padma Hotel Semarang is Lingga Kurniawan, a dedicated bartender with nearly six years of experience. In 2023, he showcased his talent by competing in the prestigious H Gin Mixology Competition, demonstrating his passion for the craft.

Beyond bartending, Lingga has a deep love for music. What started as a hobby has evolved into DJ-ing at intimate events for friends. For Lingga, music is a way to express himself and connect with others on a deeper level – much like bartending, where he builds meaningful relationships with guests. Recognising his unique talent, Padma Hotel Semarang has encouraged him to shine by giving him opportunities to perform at hotel events, including the recent Waterpark Sore-Sore.

With the freedom to pursue his passion for music, Lingga feels motivated to dedicate even more to his role.
