I had a relaxing stay in busy Jakarta. I recommend the executive lounge on 29th floor with views on the city and quality breakfast / dinner service. Front-desk and concierge services were excellent and timely. I was told by colleagues staying with me Chinese and Japanese restaurants are good but I did not try them as I went outside the hotel to the nearby mall with good offerings.
Dinner and breakfast in the lobby restaurant are of acceptable quality and choice but, you cannot expect personal service in a large facility serving hundred of guests. I was also disapointed by the small overcrowded gym, the tiny pool next to noisy ventilators and the undergorund spa - none of these deserve a good rating beyond "better than nothing".

What a great way to finish our 2 week trip through Indonesia.
Great hotel with big rooms and great breakfasts. not to mention English newspapers, a door girl that remembers your name and a lounge staff that is very courteous. The Ritz accross the street is a sister hotel with a fabulous steak restaurant. I wiould stay here again.

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.

Stayed at the JW Marriott while on business in Jakarta. Rooms are big, clean and well-appointed. Housekeeping is excellent with some nice touches. The beds are particularly nice. Food is great, but there are better restaurants elsewhere in Jakarta. Highly recommend the executive club level.

Hotel is a little bit further away from the CBD than other hotels, but it's not really a negative.

Security is understandably tight. The staff are helpful and pleasant.
