THE HERMITAGE, A TRIBUTE PORTFOLIO HOTEL, JAKARTA

-

Originally built in 1923, The Hermitage, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Jakarta, in the heart of Menteng has served as a Dutch telecommun­ications office, home to the Indonesian Culture Ministry, and the site of Bung Karno University. After being transforme­d into a luxury hotel, with the addition of a ninestorey extension, The Hermitage officially opened in 2014 and became Southeast Asia's first Tribute Portfolio property.

Featuring a combinatio­n of antique and modern vibes, The Hermitage oozes history and elegance. Upon the entering through the gate, guests might be able to see one of the hotel's classic Bentleys or Rolls-royces parked just in front of the main entrance. Colonial-style paintings and decorative antiques are all over the elegant hallways and rooms that serve as a reminder of its history.

Besides having 90 spacious rooms and suites, The Hermitage offers a timeless journey of luxury and style through its Batavia Presidenti­al Suite and Dutch Presidenti­al Suite. Taking up an entire wing of the hotel's eighth floor, the suites have separate dining rooms and ample space for private meetings and receptions. The equally oversized bathrooms are decorated with contrastin­g Italian Carrara marble with lavish Remede amenities and aroundthe-clock butler service.

To lure you out of your beautifull­y decorated bedroom, the hotel has four fine- dining areas that cater to everything from afternoon tea to elegant brasserie fare. Topping it all, quite literally, is the rooftop swimming pool with La Vue bar, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city. Don't miss out on an atmospheri­c dinner at L'avenue, a chic ethno-brasserie that is filled with colonial- era artwork.

The colonial-style building and art elements bring a unique ambience to hosting any event, especially a wedding. The hotel offers four 70sqm function rooms that, when combined together, form a pillar-less ballroom complete with stunning chandelier­s and an adjoining balcony. Meanwhile, Courtyard Café with its all- glass style sanctuary is the perfect setting for a more intimate and warm event. It's no wonder that we're in love with The Hermitage's old-world charm.
