What Our Clients Say
"Good !"
"It was an unforgettable experience! We took advantage of a Spa package with Massage and Food; exclusive attention from the moment you enter the hotel. When we arrived at the spa reception, they treated us in a unique and personalized way, let's say they made our experience meet all expectations. The water area has a pool and Turkish bath, then we move on to the massage where we enter an oasis of peace, from the decoration, lighting, smells and above all the professionalism of its masseuses, in my case the masseuse was Ramon, very pleasant and expert! At the end they have a relaxation area with sun loungers where you can drink teas, flavored waters and dried fruits. Then we went to the Hotel restaurant where we ate very very well! We will return without hesitation."
"It has been a wonderful time, very well looked after and cared for."
"Spectacular this place, exceptional treatment"
"Came to Jakarta for the first time. Got roomnupgraded to a suite since we booked via Expedia and are Expedia Platinum.Room is massive with nice soaking tub.Staff were friendly. Concierge was helpful whenever we needed assistance.Definitely highly recommend."
"The hotel is very luxurious & modern. The restaurant is beautiful with gold foiled ceiling and contrasting white and black aesthetics. All the food & wine courses were served with great presentation. They were very flavorful and a good portion for the varied amount of plates. It was a menu with seafood, different types of meat, and cheese. Along with a couple of dessert options. (I was there in Nov 2023. I'm not sure how soon they will change the menu.)It was great to see where the wine came from on the wooden map they brought to the table. It was very good, and there was a varied selection of wine to try. There was an interesting exhibit of the bicycle and jersey from the cyclist and sport the menu was inspired from. The service was excellent and we were given utensils or napkins quickly, as soon as we needed them. As well as jackets and purses having a place to go."
"Incredible hotel with spectacular services in an unbeatable location"
"Fabulous"
"Disappointing. No out side terrace in evening, Spa very poor for modern 5 star, Room ok but not worth 1100 euros a night, No cocktail bar to relax in."
