Analyzing the architectural features of Gedung Sate reveals its significance as a historical and cultural landmark in Bandung, Indonesia. Constructed in 1920 by architect Ir. J. Gerber, the building showcases a unique blend of European and Indonesian styles, characterized by its neoclassical design with Art Deco influences and the iconic "tusuk sate" ornamentation. Originally serving as the headquarters for the Dutch colonial government, Gedung Sate has evolved into a vital component of Bandung's tourism landscape, attracting both local and international visitors. Despite its popularity, the building's potential as a nighttime tourist destination remains largely untapped. This research evaluates the architectural elements that enhance its appeal and proposes strategies for optimizing its use as a cultural and educational site. The findings aim to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between architecture and tourism while offering practical recommendations for stakeholders to improve visitor experiences and promote sustainable tourism development in Bandung.
