Situated in the heart of the Indonesian capital adjacent to the iconic Bundaran HI monument, the Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta is an oasis for travellers and business people seeking reprieve from the bustling city. The luxury hotel remains as one of the most famous since its inauguration by the first Indonesian President Sukarno back in 1962. Do not worry about ageing facilities though — the hotel has been brought to greater heights since its revamp completed in 2009 and is still the iconic landmark for the capital to this very day.
Now part of the Kempinski luxury hotel group, the Jakarta iteration promises to deliver its world-class service and hospitality that include plush rooms, top-notch local and international cuisine and luxury spa amenities. Modern architecture featuring wide, bright spaces and a rooftop bar and cafe adjacent to the outdoor swimming pool are but some of the services and facilities available.

Plus, the toilets are equipped with state of the art Japanese bathroom technology that delivers on luxury and relaxation.
