All Work and Stay

HAving taken nearly five years to complete, Alila SCBD Jakarta ( SCBD Lot 11, Jl. Jendral Sudirman Kavling 52-53, Jakarta; +62 21 5080 8777; alilahotels.com/scbd) has finally opened their much awaited doors at the heart of Jakarta’s most dense and busiest business district. The unique shaped high-rise hotel brought all the top facilities they promised announcement two years ago. This includes the 227 studio rooms and suites that ranged on three different types, state of the art gym, event spaces and the outdoor swimming pool. French-American Vong Kitchen and gourmet streetfood Le Burger (both managed by Michelin starred legend Jean-Georges Vongerichten and son his Cedric) may have opened early last year, but now have completed the hotel’s high-profile dining trifecta with the opening of Japanese global brand Hakkasan on the 25th floor.
