A taste of British tradition with the revival of Royal Battenberg and Victorian-Inspired Punch

In honour of The Langham’s 160th anniversary, The Langham, Jakarta presents a refined culinary tribute blending British heritage with modern elegance. At the heart of the celebration are two exquisite creations: the reimagined Battenberg cake and the festive Langham Royale Punch — each crafted to honour the enduring legacy of the world’s first Grand Hotel.

Hosted at ALICE, the hotel’s elegant French bistro and patisserie, this anniversary offering captures The Langham’s timeless charm through storytelling, flavour, and a touch of royal tradition. “This celebration is both a reflection of our heritage and a continuation of the values that define The Langham today,” says Alexander Poindl, General Manager of The Langham, Jakarta.

A Heritage Cake Reimagined: The Langham Battenberg Cake

First created in 1884 to commemorate a royal wedding of Princess Victoria and Prince Louis of Battenberg, the Battenberg cake has been thoughtfully reimagined into two contemporarily luxurious interpretations:

• The Langham Signature Battenberg: Vanilla and rose pound cake layered with raspberry confit and vanilla ganache — a delicate nod to The Langham’s iconic pink.
• Black Forest Battenberg: Rich chocolate and vanilla cake with cherry confit and kirsch ganache, finished in a glossy dark chocolate shell.

Presented by Magran Living

Available throughout June, these confections can be enjoyed as part of ALICE’s afternoon tea, as a personalised suite amenity, or as a takeaway in an elegant Langham-pink wooden box — perfect for gifting to commemorate the occasion.

A Toast with Victorian Flair: The Langham Royale Punch
Echoing the communal spirit of Victorian garden fêtes, the Langham Royale Punch offers a spirited twist on tradition. The cocktail blends London Dry Gin, house-made hibiscus cordial, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and Brut Champagne NV, topped with edible flowers and citrus for a sparkling finish.

Available exclusively at Tom’s, ALICE, and Artesian throughout June, the Royale Punch invites guests to raise a glass to 160 years of Langham legacy.

This milestone celebration at The Langham, Jakarta honours its storied past with poise, flavour, and a sense of occasion — a royal gesture wrapped in contemporary luxury.
