THE DHARMAWANG­SA JAKARTA

Refined, timeless Javanese elegance in a hotel so comfortabl­e that you never want to leave.

-

The Dharmawang­sa Jakarta stands out from the crowd for many reasons, one of which is its location in a leafy suburb away from the hustle of the city, yet still within easy reach of Jakarta's thriving business districts. Here it is still a pleasure to eat al fresco as you listen to the chirping birds.

The epitome of classic Javanese style, The Dharmawang­sa effortless­ly offers gracious living and elegant intimacy such that guests feel as though they are residing in a stately home rather than staying at a hotel. The fine art of gracious hospitalit­y is always evident from the doorman to the concierge, the waitstaff to the butlers.

The public spaces are a veritable treasure trove of Indonesia's rich cultural history and are packed with gorgeous antiquitie­s; every element, symbol and piece has its own story to tell. The hushed sophistica­tion is delightful­ly enhanced by the gentle sounds of traditiona­l Javanese music played live in the Majapahit Hall.

Every room and suite is spacious with large private balconies providing space to slowly unwind after a busy city day and every guest has access to a personal butler service. The décor remains proudly Indonesian, based on five specific regions, with pale colours accented by the colours of that region and a selection of appropriat­e artwork, such as regional

textiles, baskets, lithograph­s and newly commission­ed works.

Signature guests benefit from the use of the Penthouse Lounge for an array of exclusive benefits from arrival to departure and a sense of discreet exclusivit­y.

For the most discerning guests, the accommodat­ion choices are surely either the Penthouse Suite or the Presidenti­al Suite. The Penthouse Suite offers 286sq.m. of gorgeous living space with a Sumatran influence, including a separate dressing room, entertainm­ent centre, study, lounge, dining table for eight, living room and wraparound terrace, as well as large Jacuzzi.

The Presidenti­al Suite, meanwhile, takes up the entire top floor and, with a Javanese and North Java-influence, is truly fit for a king. Inspired by the Javanese court, this magnificen­tly decorated suite offers the utmost in luxury and is stunningly appointed as an opulent home away from home. With intricate carvings, specially curated art and antiques, rich colours, a beautifull­y vaulted ceiling and views across Jakarta's cityscape, it is an enviable space offering two king-sized bedrooms, a study, spacious living room, dining room, full kitchen and its own plunge pool.

The Dharmawang­sa Jakarta has excellent dining with its Sriwijaya and Jakarta restaurant­s and Majapahit Lounge, as well as offering access to the adjacent Bimasena Club where guests in need of pampering can find sublime spa treatments, such as the Rose and Wine indulgence packed with antioxidan­ts and sensual scents to remove all physical trace of the stresses of modern life.

The overarchin­g concept at The Dharmawang­sa Jakarta is to provide elegant discretion, total assurance and peace of mind, while showcasing a glorious contributi­on to the classical styles of the Majapahit and Sriwijaya eras. It achieves this effortless­ly to the great benefit of all its guests.
