Michi Photostory: JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta Indonesia

A few weeks ago, I blogged about JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi, and today, let me share with you another JW Marriott property. My hubby just got back from Jakarta, Indonesia. He usually stays at The Westin Jakarta, but since the hotel was fully booked, he had no choice but to look for another place. He remembered JW Marriott Hotel Jakarta because they had an event there during his last visit.

JW Marriott Hotel Jakarta is 30 km away from the airport and located in the Central Business District in Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta. It’s close to business offices, embassies, and even shopping centers. The hotel opened in 2001, so the look is already a bit dated, which you will notice in the room photos.

When my husband booked this hotel, medyo paranoid ako because it was bombed twice by terrorists in 2003 and 2009. Because of that, the hotel now has five layers of blast walls and very tight security. If you have small scissors or any tools, you need to surrender them to the concierge.

Governor Suite Room

My husband usually stays in a Deluxe Room, but it was no longer available, so he had to book the cheapest available room during his trip, which happened to be the Governor Suite. The room is about 84 sqm and has a separate bedroom, living room, workstation, walk-in closet, and two bathrooms. There is a coffee and tea area, minibar, fridge, two televisions, three phones, and wired and wireless internet. This hotel room is very spacious for one person—actually bigger than our tiny house. Hehehe!

What’s special about this room is the Executive Lounge Access. It’s open from Sunday to Saturday, 6 AM to 12 AM. You get private access, complimentary food and drinks, and other business services.

* Complimentary food
* Complimentary cocktails
* Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages
* Complimentary 2 pieces pressing per day (non-accumulative)
* Complimentary wifi in the lounge and meeting room
* Complimentary use of meeting room for 2 hours per day (subject to availability)
* Complimentary business services like fax, printing, scanning (free 20 pages per day)
* Free local call excluding mobile phone call.
* Drop off shuttle in Mega Kuningan area from 6AM until 11PM.
* Complimentary culinary offering all day with evening cocktails.

* Evening Service Bar

Aside from the Executive Lounge access, my husband also received two vouchers: one worth IDR 150,000 for Alameda Spa & Health Club and another worth IDR 100,000 for Sailendra Restaurant. He could also choose a complimentary gift from JW Marriott:

* Asuka Maki Sushi Roll at Asuka Japanese Dining
* A bowl of Indonesian Soup (Sop Buntut, Bakso or Iga) at Sailendra Restaurant
* A choice of appetizer at Pearl Chinese Restaurant
* A choice of dessert at Pearl Chinese Restaurant
* A glass of house beer at Blu Martini
* A glass of house red or white wine at Blu Martini
* Avail IDR50,000 off your in room dining orders.

With all the free food and drinks, parang gusto mo na lang mag-stay sa hotel at mag-food trip. Before his business trip, my husband was on a diet… pero ewan ko na lang kung ano nangyari sa diet niya during his stay. Hehehe!

Sailendra Buffet Breakfast

For breakfast, he had two options: the Executive Lounge or Sailendra Restaurant. He tried both. Sailendra Buffet Breakfast offers international dishes such as American, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and of course Indonesian cuisine. One advantage of the Executive Lounge is that they serve pork dishes daw.

You can also dine at Asuka Japanese Restaurant, Pearl Chinese Restaurant, Blu Martini Bar & Lounge, and Sailendra Restaurant. If you want to save money, you can eat at the nearest shopping mall—my husband just walked from JW Marriott to the mall.

JW Marriott Hotel Jakarta is a 5-star hotel offering a fitness center, spa, swimming pool, meeting rooms, and event venues. The room, food, and service are good. Just like the Hanoi branch, they give complimentary chocolates every turndown service.

This hotel reminds me of our stay in Sofitel Club Millesime Manila because of the executive lounge and Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok sa dami ng freebies. You can check other Marriott hotels that I have reviewed in the past.
