JW Marriott Jakarta is approximately 45 minutes from the airport by taxi. Taxi cost about $15US.
Visa is obtained on arrival at the airport for $25US.
This Marriott is the best hotel of all Marriots in which I have stayed. From arrival and check-in to check out, the service was first class. The rooms are immaculately maintained and serviced. Every amenity is provided. Laundry service is "same day", and again first class.
The concierge lounge is well worth the price. Food quality and service is exceptional. The staff is very helpful with local culture, customs, directions and information. The adjacent business center is very efficient and the staff is very helpful.
The hotel restaurants are first class. The service and food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable.
The hotel recommends and we found the silver and blue taxis to be the best for commuting around town.
The hotel has elevated security--with metal detectors at the entrances and auto checking areas outside the hotel.
The are some local shopping areas within walking distance of the hotel, but most of the tourist areas require a taxi ride. Traffic can be terrible, so plan you times accordingly--what should take 20 minutes can easily take 90 minutes.
The hotel sits opposite the Marriott Renaissance hotel in downtown.
