The place to stay in Jakarta. Very classy and different to your usual identikit 5-star with a low rise approach and gorgeous outdoor pool with overhanging trees. Also the standard butler service is fantastic. It's about 20mins away from the central business district but close to Kemang. It's certainly not a night spot - the bar is very low key... More

The Dharmawangsa is a boutique 5* hotel in a quiet residential suburb close to Blok M. The hotel itself has an air of calmness in this crazy city and although the location is off the beaten track, it is worth it if you are looking for somewhere quiet to put your feet up. Hotel style is 'traditional Indonesian' but with... More

One of the best hotels in SE Asia. If you are familiar with Indonesian history you will appreciate the atmosphere created at this hotel. Also good for evening drinks or dinner if you live in Jakarta. Rooms are all suites. Alongside the Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe and The Oriental in Bangkok, I consider it to be one of the... More

It is hard if not impossible to fault this hotel. The Dharmawangsa is an oasis of calm in amongst the traffic and noise of Jakarta. The decor is quietly Javanese and therefore genteel and calm.

I stayed two nights for business at the Dharmawangsa. It is a unique hotel and - while I don't think the location is ideal - it is absolutely worth sacrificing location for a unique experience. The hotel is beautiful and service is impeccable. Food is great and the rooms are superb: large, beautifully furnished, with fresh jasmine and a spectacular... More

I've never stayed here, as a Jakarta resident it's not usually necessary. But I regularly visit the library (as I think it's known) to sample their martinis. A special treat, and if you're with a group after dining nearby, and absolutely fabulous and charming way to finish off the evening. Every visitor should try this at least once. The chocolate...

We stayed a week in the Dharmawangsa Hotel. From entering the Hotel till exit, you're being treated like a King or Queen. Rooms are fantastic with a super luxurious bathroom and private butler. Spa and great pool. We'll be back in January. Loved it!! More

The Dharmawangsa is a beautiful secluded haven in busy Jakarta. It is outside the CBD which worked well for us as we were on holiday en route to Yogyakarta. The rooms are lovely and the bathroom is huge. The breakfasts are sumptuous and the pool area and gardens were quiet and relaxing. It makes a welcome change from the stock-standard... More

Very nice atmosphere. Relaxed and high quality service. More
