Looking forward to stay at the property! :D
Congratulation Starwood! |
yeah nice..... but much too late for me... opening was delayed many times...
booked the Grand Hyatt Jakarta right next door... Awesome hotel with awesome pool... but i must admit the lounge at the LeMeridien Jakarta was much better ;) |
Beautiful hotel, private entrance. Basically go through the plaza Indonesia west entrance, and make a right prior to the EX mall.
Just checked in. Was told we were the 5th guest to check in. Booked the room with my wife's free night award. She has no status with *wood, and was given a grand deluxe room. First impression of the room, Spacious. Quite similar to St Regis' rooms. The wifi is highly unstable, but I'm sure it is just teething issue. I'll post some pictures once I figure out how to post it. :D |
Wow, a cat 5 for Jakarta must be really quite something! :eek:
I stayed at the Dharmawangsa last time in Jakarta and loved it. Might just try this out next time. |

Rates starting from USD 299++ Far out that is ambitious for the Big Durian |
Was thinking of giving it a try since I am nearby, but at USD300++ I think I get better value at the St Regis Singapore.

I think the Grand Deluxe Room is the standard room available at this property ;)
We got a butler who seems genuinely caring and helpful. Since ours was an award night, we didn't try the breakfast. but no worries, the hotel is linked to the Plaza Indonesia Mall, where there are loads of restaurants to choose from. |
Pictures
Here's the pictures I promised. Sorry the photography isn't that great.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...-entrance2.jpg The entrance to the room. High ceiling. Oversize doors. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...e3997-bed2.jpg Unmade bed and sofa :D. Behind the bed is actually a pair of sliding panel that opens up to the bathroom. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...view-room2.jpg View of Jakarta's CBD from one of the windows. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...5-workdesk.jpg Work Area with a small but rather noisy LCD monitor. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...eeds-bidet.jpg An Excellent toilet flush controls system. Warm air to dry your butt... Hmmm... Gotta get me one ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...aton-plaza.jpg His and hers... Basically the price the hotel is charging for a night is above what I usually pay for a room. However, if you can afford it, it has excellent service, excellent location, and a room that commensurate with price. NOTE: Gotta fix the wifi and the internet. Weak wifi signal and internet going on and off every few minutes. Took me over an hour just to post this message. :mad: Somebody did come and fix it though. ^ |

I finally got fed up and switched after 5 years or so of staying there. Never went back. |
