Mandarin Oriental Jakarta

272 large contemporary rooms (in 2009 the hotel was extensively redeveloped and the total number of guest rooms cut by a third) sit in an ideal location as an oasis of calm in the hectic city. With fabulous restaurants, fantastic facilities and legendary service, there is nowhere better to stay.

Situated in the heart of the financial and diplomatic district, around 45 minutes from the airport, spectacular views surround the hotel and Jakarta’s main attractions are all nearby. There’s also plenty to keep guests entertained within the hotel, with facilities including a wonderful pool, large fitness centre and sauna.

The superb food and beverage outlets comprise the smart Cinnamon coffee shop, overlooking a small tropical garden, which serves an extensive breakfast buffet; Xin Hwa, with a long-standing reputation as one of Jakarta’s best Chinese restaurants, specializing in Szechuan cuisine; and elegant Lyon, for haute French.
