Interesting facts

An interesting fact about the Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta is its connection to local culture through art. The hotel features an extensive collection of contemporary Indonesian artworks, showcasing the country's rich cultural heritage. Walk through the curated collection of local art that tells the archipelago's history, enhancing the hotel's aesthetic and giving guests a deeper connection to Indonesia's vibrant artistic scene.

Another thing I found interesting are the two slightly different fauteuils in the room, one for a male guest, and one for a female guest (with a small decoration on the back rest).

The Four Seasons Jakarta is the ideal place to stay in the Indonesian capital for both business and leisure guests, and is a great option for couples as well as families.
