The Dharmawangsa Jakarta

Refined, timeless Javanese elegance in a hotel so comfortable that you never want to leave.

The Dharmawangsa Jakarta stands out from the crowd for many reasons, one of which is its location in a leafy suburb away from the hustle of the city, yet still within easy reach of Jakarta’s thriving business districts. Here it is still a pleasure to eat al fresco as you listen to the chirping birds.

The epitome of classic Javanese style, The Dharmawangsa effortlessly offers gracious living and elegant intimacy such that guests feel as though they are residing in a stately home rather than staying at a hotel. The fine art of gracious hospitality is always evident from the doorman to the concierge, the waitstaff to the butlers.

The public spaces are a veritable treasure trove of Indonesia’s rich cultural history and are packed with gorgeous antiquities; every element, symbol and piece has its own story to tell. The hushed sophistication is delightfully enhanced by the gentle sounds of traditional Javanese music played live in the Majapahit Hall.

Every room and suite is spacious with large private balconies providing space to slowly unwind after a busy city day and every guest has access to a personal butler service. The décor remains proudly Indonesian, based on five specific regions, with pale colours accented by the colours of that region and a selection of appropriate artwork, such as regional textiles, baskets, lithographs and newly commissioned works.

Signature guests benefit from the use of the Penthouse Lounge for an array of exclusive benefits from arrival to departure and a sense of discreet exclusivity.

For the most discerning guests, the accommodation choices are surely either the Penthouse Suite or the Presidential Suite. The Penthouse Suite offers 286sq.m. of gorgeous living space with a Sumatran influence, including a separate dressing room, entertainment centre, study, lounge, dining table for eight, living room and wrap-around terrace, as well as large Jacuzzi.

The Presidential Suite, meanwhile, takes up the entire top floor and, with a Javanese and North Java-influence, is truly fit for a king. Inspired by the Javanese court, this magnificently decorated suite offers the utmost in luxury and is stunningly appointed as an opulent home away from home. With intricate carvings, specially curated art and antiques, rich colours, a beautifully vaulted ceiling and views across Jakarta’s cityscape, it is an enviable space offering two king-sized bedrooms, a study, spacious living room, dining room, full kitchen and its own plunge pool.

The Dharmawangsa Jakarta has excellent dining with its Sriwijaya and Jakarta restaurants and Majapahit Lounge, as well as offering access to the adjacent Bimasena Club where guests in need of pampering can find sublime spa treatments, such as the Rose and Wine indulgence packed with antioxidants and sensual scents to remove all physical trace of the stresses of modern life.

The overarching concept at The Dharmawangsa Jakarta is to provide elegant discretion, total assurance and peace of mind, while showcasing a glorious contribution to the classical styles of the Majapahit and Sriwijaya eras. It achieves this effortlessly to the great benefit of all its guests.
