The services and facilities offered at Hotel Aryaduta Semanggi would not put the years of its history to shame. Experienced and polished in its skill of catering to distinguished guests, the sound of its name rings a familiar and honorable tone.
Hotel Aryaduta Semanggi may look slightly like a mix of sugar coated towers and Arabian nights from outside, but inside the interiors are surprisingly conservative. The salem-colored walls of the lobby are the only part reminiscent of Hotel Aryaduta Semanggi's outside appearance. Marble floors, Indonesian ornaments and paintings add up to a classic and cozy feel. Might as well bring a book along if you are planning to spend a lot of time in the lobby, because no television is available, this is a non-smoking area and you may find trouble disposing chewing gum wrappers as the search for a garbage disposal might lead you all the way outside the lobby and round the corner to the sun-streamed sidewalk café.
Enter the rooms and you will find the same kind of cozy simplicity. Nevertheless, the lack of cutting-edge stylishness or hi-tech gadgets does not undermine the capacity of this all-suites hotel at all. The services are excellent, the bedrooms are superbly comfortable, and the facilities provided are satisfying. These are the essentials you’ll need for a satisfying stay anyway. The furnishings may not be of the modern, urban kind that is in vogue now and the kitchen may be a little conservative but what’s important is: everything is in order and working.
One thing that enhances the comfort of living in Hotel Aryaduta Semanggi is the friendliness and experienced nature of its staffs. Many of the guests feel at home and form a laid-back relationship with the doorman and even the cleaning services. The five-star hotel is definitely good for a family or business stay, or any stay demanding an added privacy or room to move. Each room is equipped with a kitchen, a private balcony, two separate bathrooms and even a washing machine for the long-term guests. There is plenty of space inside the suite and not many fancy ornaments which spell trouble when there are children around. A broadband internet access is available and there’s a huge choice of television channels for a laid-back evening or a frantic hunger for information. The hotel seems to be a little sensitive about towels, though, for example if you would like a new towel you’d have to hand over the used towel first. If you are planning a long-term stay, save yourself the trouble by buying a new towel and washing it yourself.
All of this does not include the fact that the Aryaduta Semanggi is very strategically located. You are literally in the heart of Jakarta ’s Golden triangle of business. The recent addition of the Semanggi Plaza just a little walk away makes it even more convenient to shop for tonight’s dinner ingredients and cook it in the hotel. Great rooms, great location, great services, what more could you ask for a perfect stay in Jakarta ?
