Alila Hotel Jakarta Review
Pecenongan area is a strategic area because of many culinary attractions and close to many historical places in Jakarta such as Monas, National Museum, State Palace, Textil Museum and also Old Town area. In addition, Alila Hotel Jakarta is also only about 4 km from Sudirman - Thamrin business district. No wonder the Hotel is the choice for many people to stay because of its strategic location. And to complete the curiosity with this hotel, I decided to stay in the 4-star hotel which was established since May 2001. Let's see what facilities are located in Hotel Alila Jakarta.
Once we set foot in the lobby, we will see a spacious and elongated room decorated with dark granite floors, as well as charming interiors ranging from decoration to paintings. Although already present since 2001, but I still see a hotel with modern nuances. The reception desk is in the left corner of the room with the concierge always ready to serve the needs of the hotel guests. There is also a spacious lobby lounge with high ceiling. Here we can sit back while reading the newspaper or ordering drinks.
Next to the lounge is a garden called Zen Garden with Cambodian trees and gray rocks. Zen Garden is located in the middle between the lobby lounge and restaurant. It's nice to sit for a long time in the lobby lounge or at breakfast at the restaurant while looking at this park.
In Alila Hotel Jakarta, there are 257 rooms and suites with various types. From Deluxe Room, Executive Room, Executive Premier Room, Executive Suite Room, Executive Club Suite Room and All Suite Room.
The corridor leading to the rooms was lined with thick carpets with good lighting. Some of the corridor walls are decorated with paintings. No need to worry about walking in the corridor even though night. The room key is a color-shaped card that is my favorite color. You know, I'm a blue lover. I got room numbered 905 which means I'm on the 9th floor.
This is the Executive Premier Room room I occupy on the 9th floor. The rooms are spacious enough. There were 4 big pillows and 2 small pillows above the bed. The mattress was very soft. Imagine how sleepy I sleep at night. The floor of the room is wood or parquet.
Some other facilities that we can find in the room of Hotel Alila Jakarta is LCD TV with sufficient channels with a clean image. A water heater complete with coffee, tea and cream is available on the table in sufficient quantities. You just choose want to make any hot drink.
In the closet there are several hanger to hang clothes, then there are bathrobe, slippers, safe deposit box and flashlight. If you want a long stay here, this cabinet is more than enough to store neatly all the clothes.
The bathroom position is beside the bed. Typically, the latest hotels separate the bedroom with bathroom and use transparent glass. The room interception at Hotel Alila Jakarta is separated by sliding door with matching color like cabinet, So when the door is closed, then we like to see a long line of cabinets.
The bathroom is quite spacious with a shower in it. The hot water facility is definitely there. Toiletries are also quite complete. Two thick towels for toiletries are available and two small towels are also provided in the bathroom.
After relaxing for a moment in the room, in the afternoon I was invited down to Buzz Restaurant to see the action Chef Alex Ensor cooking menu mainstay of Alila Hotel Jakarta. The menu that was cooked that afternoon was named Fresh Squid Inq Pasta. This is a pasta menu made in squid ink and served with sauce along with prawns and scallops. The pasta sauce made of tomato sauce, chili paste and dried tomatoes tasted fresh in the mouth.
At night I headed to Alila Spa which is on the 6th floor to enjoy massage for 1 hour. Treatment available at Alila Spa is diverse. There are massage, reflexology, facial masks, body treatments, scrubs and wraps and hair treatment. Before starting the massage, the therapist offered me a warm drink. I was also asked to choose oil to use for massage. There are 3 oil options offered and I choose one that best suits the taste. Alila Spa therapist massage is really good, I fell asleep during the massage process and was awakened to turn over. Finished massage I again offered a warm drink. Very enjoyable...!!
