Review: The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place
A luxurious home away from home

As with every stay at any Ritz-Carlton across the world, The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place provides nothing but luxury, intimacy and exclusive attention to details at any one point in time. A recent visit and stay at the hotel's Mayfair Club suite has proven this point through and through.

The room: The Mayfair Club suite, which is one of only seven in this 62-room hotel, is located on the 21st floor of the The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place, which is also the club lounge level, exlusively dedicated to club guests only. The private and luxurious experience begins with a complimentary airport pick-up on arrival and in-room check-in, which avoids the hassle of procedures done at the lobby.

Let's skip the panoramic view of Jakarta's city skyline, and focus on the amazing little details the suite has to offer. That includes a pillow menu, 300-thread count linens, separate marble shower and bath tub that offers a view, walk-in wardrobes, Bvlgari bath essentials and LCD televisions, both in the bed and bathroom.

The convenience of 24 hours in-room dining and butler services, as well as twice-daily housekeeping and evening turndown service just adds on to the dedication The Ritz-Carlton has for every discerning traveller. And with the benefit of acces to The Ritz-Carlton club lounge, club guests are presented with five complimentary food presentations daily.

Dining at The Ritz-Carlton: Exclusive to club and suite guests, the club lounge provides an extensive food and beverage offerings throughout their stay. That includes evening alcoholic cocktails for any guest looking for some happy hour within the comfort of the hotel.

On Sundays, try out their Jazzy Brunch at Pacific Restaurant & Lounge, located on the sixth floor of the hotel, where a live band serenades you during your meal, that includes an array of food selection with local Indonesian as well as international cuisine.

Facililties and services: Located on the eighth floor is the fully-equipped fitness centre as well as the hotel spa. The hospitality of the Indonesians definitely adds a personal touch to any relaxing spa treatments done within the spa. Let's not forget their massive ballroom, which is also the second largest in Asia, after Marina Bay Sands, commonly used to host major Asia-Pacific events.
