After a week of stressful activities, it feels only right to take the entire family away from home to relax and refresh over a weekend. Located on Jl. Sudirman in Jakarta’s Central Business District, The Orient Hotel Jakarta offers exactly that, with convenient access to shopping malls and business centers, allowing guests to enjoy some time out with loved ones without leaving the city.
One step into the lobby shows that the hotel has a unique character: two enormous rattan chairs are arranged on one side, with statement lamps made of seashells standing in the corners.
The hotel occupies the top floors in a building it shares with the Sudirman Suites Apartment, spanning from floors 26 to 31. The Orient currently offers five types of rooms: Superior, Deluxe, Grand Deluxe, Orient and Grand Orient. Three more room types are in the pipeline: the Orient Suite, Presidential Junior Suite and Presidential Suite, all offering more space ranging from 91 square meters to 265 sqm.
What makes the Orient unique is that each room has a distinct design, starting from the room door. Each wooden door features a different painting of Indonesian flora, fauna or folklore, each created by a local artist.
The door to the Grand Deluxe room where The Jakarta Post stayed, for instance, had a painting of little birds on a tree, while the doors of other rooms featured exotic plants, the sun or a horse with a horn. These works of art make it feel as though guests are walking into a whimsical, relaxing space.
The Grand Deluxe room occupies a comfortable 40 sqm and has a spacious living space. The king-sized bed, covered in premium Italian linen, is cozy and luxurious, and likely to send guests off to quality sleep.
The open bathroom concept marries simplicity with style, featuring bespoke Italian fixtures, and comes equipped with a shower room in white marble. The floor-to-ceiling windows make bathing feel inspiring, soaking in the hot water while looking out at a view of the Jakarta skyline.
Facilities
The Orient’s fifth floor offers health and leisure activities. Book enthusiasts can spend quiet time with a fresh drink in the Library Lounge. The 24-hour gym offers state-of-the-art equipment and workout sessions with an overlooking view of the city. A studio on the gym’s mezzanine floor is ready for yoga and Pilates, with the hotel providing personal trainers and nutritionists for a complete fitness regime.
While the spa is currently being built, it doesn’t mean guests can’t indulge in relaxing therapies. The semi-outdoor infinity pool is the place to recharge while enjoying the cityscape. The pool also has a hydrotherapy system, equipped with therapeutic waterjets to relax sore muscles from head to toe. Read More...
