Raffles Jakarta

Raffles Jakarta (Jakarta, Indonesia) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Is it a classic colonial-style Raffles, or a sleek contemporary skyscraper hotel? Perhaps a bit of both. Raffles Jakarta certainly cuts a modern figure from the exterior view, set as it is in a gleaming glass tower in the Indonesian capital’s tony Golden Triangle. Step through its doors, however, and you’re treated to a classic polished-stone lobby, its soaring spaces decorated with oversized artworks by the 20th-century painter Hendra Gunawan. And it’s in the rooms that the synthesis is completed: though they’re unmistakably modern in their comforts, their equipment, and above all their high-rise city views, their style is timeless, with echoes of every era for the past century or more." - Tablet Hotels
