The Langham, Jakarta
SCBD, District 8; Jakarta, Indonesia
The Langham, Jakarta adds a British-inflected approach to luxury in the Sudirman Central Business District. Its interiors bring together several international design studios, while the accommodation uses cityscape and skyline categories to make the surrounding metropolis part of the experience. The hotel’s dining and afternoon-tea programme gives the public spaces a clear social purpose, and a rooftop bar extends that atmosphere into the evening with broad views over Jakarta. Chuan Spa, an indoor pool and a health club make wellbeing a substantial part of the offering. This is an appealing choice for travellers who want their SCBD hotel to function as a destination for dining and relaxation as well as a convenient business address. Suites provide additional living space for guests who expect to spend longer periods within the property. The Langham’s distinction lies in its combination of formal elegance, strong leisure facilities and the energy of a contemporary commercial district, all framed by the city’s increasingly dramatic skyline.
