The Dharmawangsa Jakarta

The hotel is a cozy sanctuary, adorned with timeless Javanese decor and traditions. Unlike many other hotels in Jakarta of its class, which are usually located amidst the hustle and bustle of the business district in Central Jakarta, this hotel is situated in a quieter area in South Jakarta within an upscale neighborhood. Nevertheless, its location remains strategically close to the city’s economic and commercial hub. The hotel’s common areas are warm and inviting, resembling large living room spaces where you can host your friends and family. You can conveniently order refreshments from the bar/restaurant. In keeping with its theme, the hotel’s cuisine showcases local flavors, primarily Javanese, and it is truly delicious! In my opinion, this hotel boasts the best Indonesian food among all the five-star hotels in Jakarta. Another notable feature is the availability of both outdoor and indoor pools. The outdoor pool is beautifully nestled in a shady grove of trees, creating the illusion that you are in an oasis far from the city’s clamor. For anyone visiting or residing in South Jakarta and in need of accommodations, this hotel stands out as one of the coziest options. It will make you feel as though you are home away from home.

My wife kindly booked us into The Dharmawangsa over Christmas to celebrate my birthday and relax for a few days whilst in Jakarta. The hotel is located in a quiet, tree lined residential area so you have the benefit of being away from the congestion of CBD traffic yet just a short drive away from malls like Senayan. On arrival, we were greeted courteously and taken to reception and immediately made to feel welcome and a valued guest. Our room was clean, spacious and quiet with a nice balcony overlooking a tropical tree lined garden area and swimming pool. We also liked the traditional and spacious furnishings and overall decor in the room making us feel comfortable and relaxed. The bathroom is generously sized including a bath tub and shower room along with a plentiful assortment of amenities. I really enjoyed using the varied and excellent leisure facilities at the hotel including the indoor swimming pool, jacuzzis and sauna. I also finished our brief stay with a rejuvenating deep-tissue massage which I would highly recommend. We started each day with a buffet breakfast at the hotel. There is an extensive selection of food available including delicious, traditional Indonesian dishes and other Asian and Western style cuisines. We really liked the wide selection of fresh fruits, juices and freshly baked breads and pastries along with various teas and freshly brewed aromatic arabica coffee. All in all, a perfect way to start the day assisted by warm, helpful and attentive staff. Would like to thanks to say special thanks to Irwan at the Reception; Riyan, Ahmadi, Arief, Affan and Lisa for providing a great experience at Breakfast - along with the delicious food, keeping me supplied with excellent arabica coffee and introducing me to the tasty and refreshing Jamu juice. I really appreciated the surprise birthday greeting and cake too; all the staff at the Spa & Wellness Centre.

Located about 15minutes away from the Jakarta city center where you can take a break from the pollution and breathe hard, this classy place is a 5-star hotel that is enough to spend a quiet and comfortable time. You can't expect convenience stores or attractions nearby, but their sophisticated manners and kindness, as well as their fresh and attractive breakfast, are enough to compensate for all that. What about the delicious food in the restaurant that is incomparable to other places. Lying on the comfortable bed in the bedroom where traditional and luxurious harmoniously blend, I am grateful for finding a gem to stay in when I come to Jakarta and I am happy to imagine coming back again. Good luck to everyone!

I’ve been staying at this hotel for several years. This was the best experience I’ve had. Seems they have detailed the hotel and rooms and brought it back up to its original splendour. Breakfast was good now it’s great, Japanese restaurant is now really good, cigar bar across from the Japanese fantastic. Everyone in the hotel addresses me by name, it’s like running the gauntlet to get to the restaurant for breakfast so many staff wish me good morning. All in all a faultless experience and surprising affordable for what you get.

The Lobby and the surroundings were beautiful, especially the outside garden and the pool area, like an oase in an Urban jungle. The rooms are spacious. And the breakfast especially the outside patio was very pleasant. We enjoyed it every morning.
