Cultural Luxury

The Hermitage Menteng in Jakarta is rich in history and in bespoke hospitalit­y

-

Luxury and decadence were an essential aspect of the 1920s Jakarta. The Dutch East Indies buildings, which were predominan­tly built during this time, offered internatio­nal chic that has never gone out of style in the city. Very few buildings can utilise this historical architectu­re while offering a touch of modern brilliance. However, the Hermitage hotel does just that, blending an Art Deco style and neoclassic­al design with the original building’s timeless, iconic identity.

The hotel is housed in the previous Dutch Telecommun­ication office, which is preserved as an essential part of Jakarta’s cultural heritage by the local government. It offers 90 elegant guest rooms and suites that come with exclusive amenities, sumptuous furniture, and

genuine and plush bedding textiles. All this creates a unique guest experience in the heart of Jakarta bridging the modern with the traditiona­l elements.

As a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, the Hermitage brings a vibrant social scene and dining experience to its guests. This is via four wellappoin­ted dining and bar venues: the luxury of the L’avenue Restaurant, the relaxing Hermitage Lounge with Cigar Room, the Courtyard Café with its casual atmosphere, or La Vue, which is an urban-style bar situated at the rooftop with unobstruct­ed 360-degree panoramic views of Jakarta.

Along with a culinary adventure that will take you across the archipelag­o, enjoy life at your own pace at the gym and infinity pool on the rooftop. While away time for relaxation and meditation at the hotel’s spa, which offers the finest body relaxation from traditiona­l Balinese boreh wraps to heated oiled stones.

Due to the hotel’s location in Menteng and its close proximity to the busy Jl. Sudirman and Jl. Thamrin, not to mention world-class shopping malls, The Hermitage presents much inspiratio­nal for events and special occasions. The range of rooms and halls offers an extensive set of options to satisfy anyone’s needs, while the 1920s décor and unique art stylings give visitors something that many hotels miss.
