Leisure options include a toddlers’ playground, water park and a seasonal ice rink.

For relaxation, head to the hotel’s Inaria Spa. Cutting- edge beauty treatments mixed with ancient Indonesian healing traditions and ingredients will soothe and rejuvenate. Alternatively, minutes away is the world- class Pondok Indah Golf Course where you can swing out your tension on 18 of Indonesia’s finest fairways.

Finish with evening cocktails on the outdoor terrace at Club InterContinental. The stylish lounge also offers breakfast, afternoon tea and exclusive services.
