RAFFLES JAKARTA

-

Modern opulence has a stylish home in the heart of Indonesia’s ever-evolving commercial hub. Raffles Jakarta is a soaring expression of a hospitalit­y brand synonymous with oldworld glamour and sophistica­tion, loved by generation­s of discerning travelers. Guests will be captivated from the moment they step inside the striking marbled lobby. This oasis of calm amid the city’s hustle and bustle highlights the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia and the unparallel­ed luxury that Raffles is known for. That unique blend comes to the fore in the hotel’s dazzling art collection, headlined by a stunning wall mosaic inspired by the celebrated painter

Hendra Gunawan.

The property’s social venues are preferred meeting places for the city’s movers and shakers. Nodding to the legendary drinking den at Raffles’ Singapore flagship, The Writers Bar offers fine cocktails in a club-like setting that celebrates the artistic and literary history of Jakarta; Arts Café by Raffles delivers a tantalizin­g array of global delights created by chef Lukman Hakim. With its state-of-theart show kitchen, The Dining Room serves as the backdrop for unforgetta­ble culinary collaborat­ions and pop-up events featuring acclaimed guest chefs from near and far.

Then there’s the 12th-floor Raffles Club, an exclusive lounge where guests can work or relax throughout the day, enjoying breakfast and afternoon tea treats laid out on solid marble countertop­s, and craft cocktails when the sun goes down. The hotel’s exceptiona­l level of service is personifie­d by the attentive yet discreet Raffles Butlers, who pay attention to the smallest details.

Meanwhile, the 173 rooms and suites are thoughtful­ly designed, each one a vision of contempora­ry elegance and refined living. Bespoke in-room amenities include bathrobes by high-profile fashion designer Didiet Maulana, who took his cues from traditiona­l batik patterns and the artworks of Hendra Gunawan.

Wellness is another drawcard of Raffles Jakarta, thanks to a sophistica­ted spa known for its comprehens­ive hydrothera­py facilities and tailor-made treatments—the perfect place to unwind given the brand’s renewed focus on promoting physical and emotional wellbeing. A fitness center stocked with Technogym equipment and an inviting outdoor pool add to the sense of contentmen­t at this architectu­ral gem.
