Westin Jakarata

Since Westin Jakarta open its doors last year, I wanted to check out the hotel.  I was discouraged because it is further than my preferred hotel in Jakarta which is Le Meridien.

Westin Jakarta has a morgen architecture. It is a combination of an office block and hotel.

The reception of the hotel is on the 52th floor. It offers a breath taking view of the city.

I read the reviews in the  Tripadvisor Westin Jakarta

Since, I need to spend a night in Jakarta and the hotel is closer to my meetings,  I decided to give it a go.

Typically, it will take me 60 mins to reach Le Meridien in a off peak traffic hours. I need to factor another 30 mins for Westin. Despite, it is 2 km distance apart, the traffic in. Jakarta is so bad that it requires additional 30 minutes.

I am curious about the executive lounge in Westin. After I have checked in, I whisked up the elevator to visit the executive lounge on the 65th floor.
I seat by the window to have a view of the city with a glass of wine on hand. This is the view towards  Casablanca.  Park Lane hotel is just opposite Westin separated by a graveyard and apartments.


The cold and hot dishes are generous.


I helped myself to some pastries. It is lovely.

The salad bar is quite generous with its toppings. I selected a combination of nuts with olive oil and balsamic vinegar .

For dinner, I have it out the hotel. I decided to go for a traditional fried duck confetti local Indonesia dish.  The dish is light and yummy.



Before heading to the bed, I went up to the bar on the 67th floor. Views are stunning.

 This is the view from my room in the evening.  It is blurry due to the haste and the windows reflection.




They serve a nice platter of fruits in the room. It is a wide variety of fruits.
