Michelin Selected
Michelin
inside the luminous lobby, the look is palatial, with high coffered ceilings, polished white Carrera marble floors, rich drapery, glass partitions and sumptuous chandeliers.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Menteng is a leafy diplomatic quarter of quiet avenues and colonial villas, just a short walk from Cikini station.
The rooms
Guest rooms favor sleek contemporary finishes over antique styling, with select categories opening onto private terraces.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The ninth-floor infinity pool sits beside trailing greenery, looking out across the Central Jakarta skyline.
The spa and gym
Indonesian body scrubs and milk baths fill the spa menu, and a rooftop gym looks onto the pool deck.
At the table
Brasserie 1928 serves Indo-Dutch heritage dishes, and La Vue mixes cocktails out on the open-air rooftop terrace.
How it began
Long before its hotel conversion, the building served as Indonesia's early education ministry and Bung Karno University.
