Nominated as one the 150 best hotels in the world by Best Hotels magazine in January 2006, ALiLA Hotel Jakarta provides not only elegance and comfort, but also functionality at every aspect. Catering to urbanites and corporate executives, at ALiLA guests may expect unparalleled comfort in the rooms, fine dining at the restaurants, cheerful service from the staff and seamless internet connectivity.
Situated in the busy street of Pecenongan, the hotel has been correctly dubbed as the “haven of relaxation in contemporary style”. From the high and spacious lobby which provides a relief from the hubbub of Jakarta 's downtown, the sweet-smelling aromatherapy wafting in every hallways and rooms, to the minimalist architectural designs, sculptures and paintings, the hotel is remarkably elegant and sophisticated in its simplicity.
The atmosphere of total repose and rejuvenation thrives throughout the premises. Sipping our welcome drinks that afternoon, we couldn't help but admire the stylish lounge with an open view to the beautiful Japanese garden and glimpses of the busy street in a distance. With its low seating, warm lighting, minimalist interior and bright yellow Chrysan shamrocks on the tables, we found a perfect sanctuary at the hotel after a busy day at the office.
