Staycation #19: The Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place Hotel (Bilingual)

It was my birthday on September 23!

Itu adalah hari ulang tahun saya pada 23 September!

We still cannot travel far due to the COVID19 flying restrictions for kids under 12, therefore we decided to do a staycation again. We always enjoy our mini-holidays, although we normally don’t travel far, since most of the hotels we have stayed in Jakarta are not far from where we live. This time, we chose to stay in a hotel that is around a 15 minute car ride from our place. We had stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place last year (Xmas 2020), however it was the residences. We were still curious about the hotel, so we chose to go back, and stayed at its hotel this time.

Kami masih belum bisa melakukan perjalanan jauh karena adanya pembatasan penerbangan COVID19 untuk anak-anak di bawah 12 tahun, oleh karena itu kami memutuskan untuk melakukan staycation lagi. Kami selalu menikmati liburan mini kami, meskipun kami biasanya tidak bepergian jauh, karena sebagian besar hotel yang kami tinggali di Jakarta tidak jauh dari tempat kami tinggal. Kali ini, kami memilih untuk menginap di hotel yang jaraknya sekitar 15 menit naik mobil dari tempat kami. Kami sudah pernah menginap di Ritz - Carlton Pacific Place tahun lalu (Natal 2020), namun itu adalah Residence-nya. Kami masih penasaran dengan hotelnya, jadi kami memilih untuk kembali, dan menginap di hotelnya kali ini.

As we arrived in the lobby, we were welcomed by the concierge and the receptionist. The residence and the hotel seemed to share the same lobby, as we also entered from the same entrance and lobby last time we were there. It is not a big one, but still has that classic luxurious ambiance. The friendly staff then informed us that we could go to the Club Lounge straight away on the 21st floor, and they will assist us with the check-in while we were having our lunch. It was almost 2 PM, and the lunch time would be done soon, but they said that should be okay if we still wanted to order our late lunch from the restaurant menu. They would still serve them for us. Schweet!

Sesampainya di lobi, kami disambut oleh concierge dan resepsionis. Residences dan hotel tampaknya berbagi lobi yang sama, karena kami juga masuk dari pintu masuk dan lobi yang sama terakhir kali kami berada di sana. Tidak terlalu besar, namun tetap memiliki nuansa klasik yang mewah. Staf yang ramah kemudian memberi tahu kami bahwa kami dapat langsung pergi ke Club Lounge di lantai 21, dan mereka akan membantu kami dengan check-in saat kami sedang makan siang. Saat itu hampir jam 2 siang, dan waktu makan siang akan segera selesai, tetapi mereka mengatakan tidak apa-apa jika kami masih ingin memesan makan siang kami dari menu restoran. Mereka masih akan menyajikan makanan-makanannya untuk kita. Cakep!

We booked the special package that included breakfast, plus free lunch and dinner; full board. It was all worth it, not to mention they upgraded our room to the suite room. Boom!

Kami memesan paket spesial yang sudah termasuk sarapan, plus makan siang dan makan malam gratis; lengkap. Itu semua sepadan, belum lagi mereka meningkatkan kamar kami ke kamar suite. Duar!

1. The Room:

Layout and Interior: 4.5/5 - 127 m²/ 1367 ft². It was huge! The ceiling is also high. In fact, it was probably the highest ceiling, compared to the other hotels’ we have stayed at.

The View: 5/5 - The big 360 degrees window also gives more value to the room, and the view was definitely something! It was one of the best city views in Jakarta.

1. Ruangan:

Tata ruang dan bagian dalamnya: 4.5/5 - 127 m²/ 1367 ft². Ruangannya sangat besar! Langit-langitnya juga tinggi. Bahkan, itu mungkin langit-langit tertinggi, dibandingkan dengan hotel lain yang pernah kami kunjungi.

Pemandangannya: 5/5 - Jendela besar 360 derajat juga memberi nilai lebih pada ruangan, dan pemandangannya pastinya sesuatu banget! Itu adalah salah satu pemandangan kota terbaik di Jakarta.

Room Service5/5 - We did not order food this time, since we got free lunch and dinner at the Lounge Club. However, they gave me a birthday surprise of colorful writing on the big window and mirror, hanging baloons, and some other baloons were placed on the sofa, and the complimentary birthday cake. Loved it! Plus they also gave a little surprise for Izzy to accompany her in the bath. That was very sweet of them.

Servis Kamar: 5/5 - Kami tidak memesan makanan kali ini, karena kami mendapat makan siang dan makan malam gratis di Club Lounge. Namun, mereka memberi saya kejutan ulang tahun dengan tulisan warna-warni di jendela besar dan cermin, balon gantung, dan beberapa balon lainnya diletakkan di sofa, dan kue ulang tahun gratis. Suka banget! Ditambah lagi mereka juga memberikan sedikit kejutan untuk Izzy untuk menemaninya di kamar mandi. Mereka sweet banget.

2. Amenities:

Breakfast: 5/5 - We had our breakfast around 9 AM, I went for the Indonesian buffet menu, and also had a bowl of meatballs which I forgot to take pictures. I also had my 3rd round from the Western menu. I finished most of them, because they were yummy. Izzy was so happy she got her customized pancakes, it was made special for her. Yes, you can request any food that your kids would like to eat. But we need to tell them in advance, since they will need more time to prepare it.

Sarapan Pagi: 5/5 - Kami sarapan sekitar jam 9 pagi, saya memilih menu prasmanan Indonesia, dan juga memiliki semangkuk bakso yang saya lupa untuk ambil gambarnya. Saya juga mendapat putaran ke-3 dari menu Barat. Saya menghabiskan sebagian besar dari mereka, karena mereka enak. Izzy sangat senang dia mendapatkan panekuk khusus, itu dibuat khusus untuknya. Ya, kamu dapat meminta makanan apa pun yang ingin dimakan oleh anak-anak kamu. Tapi kita perlu memberitahu mereka terlebih dahulu, karena mereka akan membutuhkan lebih banyak waktu untuk mempersiapkannya.

Lunch: 5/5 - We had our first lunch at the Club Lounge as soon as we arrived at the hotel, right after checking in. Although we were late, since they only served lunch from 11 to 2 PM, and we got there a couple minutes before 2, they still served us our free lunch from the Pasola restaurant menu. I chose the Salmon Bumbu Rujak which was super tasty, Daddy went for Mini Burgers, Izzy had her Bolognese Pasta, and a plate for green salad to share. I also ordered Shrimp Spring Rolls, and we shared some desserts. I tasted all the food, and finished mine. They were definitely good quality food, and the taste was so delish!

Makan Siang: 5/5 - Kami makan siang pertama kami di Club Lounge segera setelah kami tiba di hotel, tepat setelah check-in. Meskipun kami terlambat, karena mereka hanya menyajikan makan siang dari jam 11 hingga 2 siang, dan kami tiba di sana beberapa menit sebelum jam 2, mereka  masih melayani kami makan siang gratis dari menu restoran Pasola. Saya memilih Salmon Bumbu Rujak yang super enak, Daddy memilih Mini Burger, Izzy punya Bolognese Pasta-nya, dan sepiring salad hijau untuk berbagi. Saya juga memesan Udang Lumpia, dan kami berbagi beberapa makanan penutup. Saya mencicipi semua makanan, dan menghabiskan makanan saya. Mereka pastinya makanan berkualitas baik, dan rasanya sangat enak!

Dinner: 5/5 - I got another surprise birthday cake! This time was from the Club Lounge. It was actually a belated birthday cake as they wrote it on the plate. I was going to give the chocolate one for Daddy, because the first bite for the other cake already stole my heart, turned out when I tried the chocolate one, that was also super yummy. I was like okay, let’s just share them all. They were so delicious. Izzy got her request food, Hotdog and Fries, Daddy also helped her. I ordered Sop Buntut, Daddy had Grilled Chicken Pelalah from the menu. We also tried their buffet: happy tummy!

Makan Malam: 5/5 - Saya mendapat kue ulang tahun kejutan lagi! Kali ini dari Club Lounge. Tepatnya kue ulang tahun yang terlambat sebagaimana yang mereka tuliskan di piring. Tadinya saya mau kasih yang coklat untuk Daddy, karena suapan pertama untuk kue satunya sudah mencuri hati saya, ternyata pas coba yang coklat juga super enak. Saya bilan, mari kita berbagi saja semuanya. Mereka sangat lezat. Izzy mendapatkan makanan permintaannya, Hotdog dan kentang goreng, Daddy juga membantunya. Saya pesan Sop Buntut, Daddy punya Ayam Bakar Pelalah dari menu.  Kami juga mencoba prasmanan mereka: perut bahagia!

Swimming Pool: 3.5/5 - It’s an outdoor one, and it looks a bit dated, yet still clean and well maintained. It was on the 8th floor of the building. The guy that welcomed us was the same guy that looks after the gym. He strikes me as a Personal Trainer. He was also friendly and very helpfil, he explained to me about all the suncreen and mosturizer they have that we can use.

Kolam Renang: 3.5/5 - Kolamnya di luar ruangan, dan terlihat agak kuno, namun masih bersih dan terawat dengan baik. Berada di lantai 8 gedung. Orang yang menyambut kami adalah orang yang sama yang menjaga gym. Menurut saya dia terlihat seperti Personal Trainer. Dia juga ramah dan sangat membantu, dia menjelaskan kepada saya tentang semua suncreen dan mosturizer yang mereka miliki yang dapat kami gunakan.


Gym: 4/5 - Not a big one, but it has everything we need. No complaints from my end. It was neat and clean. They have 2 different trash bins, a hand sanitizer was also placed in front of the enterance, in the gym area. The staff also gave us a clean towel, a pack of santizing wipes, and a bottle of water, though you can ask for more if you need more. I drink a lot, I had to ask for another bottle, and the staff / PT quickly took it for me.

Gym: 4/5 - Tidak besar, tetapi memiliki semua yang kita butuhkan. Tidak ada keluhan dari saya. Gymnya rapih dan bersih. Mereka memiliki 2 tempat sampah yang berbeda, pembersih tangan juga ditempatkan di depan pintu masuk, di area gym. Staf juga memberi kami handuk bersih, sebungkus tisu pembersih, dan sebotol air, meskipun kamu dapat meminta lebih banyak jika kamu membutuhkan lebih banyak. Saya minum banyak, saya meminta sebotol lagi, dan staf / PT tersebut cepat mengambilnya untuk saya.

3. Location: 5/5 - The best and prime location in Jakarta: it’s in the SCBD area (Sudirman Central Business District), and is attached to a mall. 

4. Overall service5/5 - Excellent! The best service we have ever had, no doubt. It was beyond our expectations. Every staff member there was super friendly and helpful. They always remember your name too, they even still remembered Izzy’s name when we walked out after checking out. The staff that served us during dinner at the Club Lounge came back during lunch time, and gave Izzy another surprise. They brought her a homemade colorful bead necklace for her mask. Cute! They asked to have a picture with Izzy, so we let them.

5. Value: 5/5 - No other phrase than: worth it. We certainly got what we paid for, and even more.

3. Lokasi: 5/5 - Lokasi terbaik dan prima di Jakarta: berada di kawasan SCBD (Sudirman Central Business District), dan menyatu dengan mall.

4. Servis Secara Keseluruhan:  5/5 - Bagus sekali!  Layanan terbaik yang pernah kami miliki, tidak diragukan lagi. Itu melebihi harapan kami. Setiap anggota staf di sana sangat ramah dan membantu. Mereka selalu ingat namamu juga, mereka bahkan masih ingat nama Izzy saat kita keluar setelah check out. Staf yang melayani kami saat makan malam di Club Lounge kembali saat waktu makan siang, dan memberi Izzy kejutan lagi. Mereka membawakannya kalung manik-manik berwarna-warni buatan sendiri untuk topengnya. Lucu banget! Mereka meminta untuk berfoto dengan Izzy, jadi kami membiarkan mereka.

5. Harga: 5/5 - Tidak ada ungkapan lain selain: layak. Kami pastinya mendapatkan apa yang kami bayar, dan bahkan lebih.

Staycation at The Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place Jakarta - Mayfair SuiteWe were kind of gutted to leave actually, especially Izzy. She kept asking me to go back to this hotel, even up until now. LOL. Oh well, next time Izzy. We would love to go back, we really, really enjoyed our stay. ;)

Kami agak sedih untuk pergi sebenarnya, terutama Izzy. Dia terus meminta saya untuk kembali ke hotel ini, bahkan sampai sekarang. Hahaha. Oh baiklah, lain kali ya Izzy. Kami akan senang untuk kembali, kami benar-benar menikmati menginap kami. ;)
