Staycation #20: The Langham Jakarta (Bilingual)

Staycation time again! It’s Izzy Bear’s 3rd birthday celebration on October 8, so we went ahead and booked the Langham hotel a couple weeks in advance, since we still cannot travel to Lombok as had we planned due to the pandemic restrictions for kids under 12 years old. The Langham is a popular new hotel in South Jakarta, and we had been curious for a while, so we went for it. We brought all the balloons, some small gifts, and a few other things for Izzy’s birthday surprise decoration. We intended to give her a morning surprise, so when she woke up she would be surprised by the decoration, including our customized birthday cake. That would be first thing in the morning that caught by her eyes. Exciting!

Waktunya staycation lagi! Ini adalah perayaan ulang tahun ke-3 Izzy Bear pada tanggal 8 Oktober, jadi kami memesan hotel Langham beberapa minggu sebelumnya, karena kami masih tidak dapat melakukan perjalanan ke Lombok seperti yang telah kami rencanakan karena pembatasan pandemi untuk anak-anak di bawah 12 tahun. The Langham adalah hotel baru yang populer di Jakarta Selatan, dan kami sudah penasaran sejak lama, jadi kami pergi untuk itu. Kami membawa semua balon, beberapa hadiah kecil, dan beberapa barang lainnya untuk dekorasi kejutan ulang tahun Izzy. Kami bermaksud memberinya kejutan pagi, jadi ketika dia bangun dia akan terkejut dengan dekorasinya, termasuk kue ulang tahun yang kami pesan khusus. Itu akan menjadi hal pertama di pagi hari yang tertangkap oleh matanya. Seru!

When we arrived at The Langham Jakarta, we were captivated by that new massive luxurious black skyscraper located at the edge of the concrete jungle, just outside the SCBD area. They parked a baby pink retro car outside lobby, which was probably a Morris Minor, with the Langham logo and title on both sides. The concierge, who all wore blue blazers, were welcoming and escorted us into the building, where their colleagues took over and accompanied us to the hotel lobby on the 62nd floor. We had to pop out our ears when we were in the elevator, due to the altitude. This hotel looks so fancy and boujee, with high ceilings, gold leaf, and chandeliers everywhere.

Setibanya di The Langham Jakarta, kami terpukau dengan gedung pencakar langit hitam mewah yang terletak di tepi hutan beton, tepat di luar kawasan SCBD. Mereka memarkir mobil retro berwarna merah muda di luar lobi, yang mungkin adalah Morris Minor, dengan logo dan judul The Langham di kedua sisinya. Pramutamu yang semuanya mengenakan blazer biru menyambut dan mengantar kami ke dalam gedung, di mana rekan-rekan mereka mengambil alih dan menemani kami ke lobi hotel di lantai 62. Kami harus memecahkan sumbatan telinga kami ketika kami berada di lift, karena ketinggian. Hotel ini terlihat sangat mewah dan kelas atas, dengan langit-langit tinggi, daun emas, dan lampu gantung di mana-mana.

1. The Room:

Layout and Interior: 5/5 - 42 m²/ 452 ft². It was a beautiful room. I love the TV area, with the artworks and the fake fireplace that was transformed into a TV cabinet. It definitely gives the room some character. The bronze-gold looking cabinet with the fridge, coffee maker, etc. in it also stole my attention.

The View: 4.5/5 - Our room was next to another building, as expected. So our view was kinda blocked by the ‘neighbor’, however we got a further view that actually was quite nice, you just need to be close to the window. At least we could see the sunset in the late afternoon.

1. Ruangan:

Tata ruang dan bagian dalamnya: 5/5 - 42 m²/ 452 ft². Itu adalah ruangan yang indah. Saya suka area TV, dengan karya seni dan perapian palsu yang diubah menjadi kabinet TV. Ini pastinya memberi ruangan beberapa karakter. Lemari yang tampak seperti perunggu-emas dengan lemari es, pembuat kopi, dll. di dalamnya juga mencuri perhatian saya.

Pemandangannya: 4.5/5 - Kamar kami berada di sebelah bangunan lain, seperti yang diharapkan. Jadi pandangan kami agak terhalang oleh 'tetangga', namun kami mendapat pandangan lebih lanjut yang sebenarnya cukup bagus, kamu hanya perlu dekat dengan jendela. Setidaknya kita bisa melihat matahari terbenam di sore hari.

Bathroom: 5/5 - Luxurious. Love love love everything in the bathroom. The beautiful white marble that was also beautified by the gold and rose gold accent. It was the perfect size too. The toilet, the bathtub, and the showers were amazing.

Kamar Mandi: 5/5 - Mewah. Cinta cinta cinta segala sesuatu di kamar mandi. Marmer putih cantik yang juga dipercantik dengan aksen emas dan rose gold. Ukurannya juga sempurna. Toilet, bak mandi, dan pancurannya luar biasa.

Toiletries: 4.5/5 - It’s good that they use the reusable bottles for the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and the body lotion, so we don’t have to waste them. The quality was undoubtedly top notch, they just didn’t have many other freebies to be used, such as a hair brush, mouthwash, etc.

Perlengkapan Mandi: 4.5/5 - Ada baiknya mereka menggunakan botol yang dapat dipakai kembali untuk sampo, kondisioner, shower gel dan body lotion, jadi kita tidak perlu menyia-nyiakannya. Kualitasnya tidak diragukan lagi adalah yang terbaik, mereka hanya tidak memiliki banyak barang gratis lainnya untuk digunakan, seperti sikat rambut, obat kumur, dll.

Room Service5/5 - Thank you for the complimentary birthday cake, sweets, fruits, and 509k dining credit! We were also surprised by the balloons, the sweet birthday card for Izzy, etc. We ordered our lunch and dinner through the TV menu, which was convenient and easy peasy. It didn’t take long until we got them delivered to our room. The in-room dining meals were sooo yum! We couldn’t stop wow-ing. We heard that the founder of Tom’s, the restaurant, actually got 2 Michelin stars. No wonder.

Servis Kamar: 5/5 - Terima kasih atas kue ulang tahun gratis, manisan-manisan, buah-buahan, dan kredit makan 509k! Kami juga dikejutkan oleh balon, kartu ulang tahun yang manis untuk Izzy, dll. Kami memesan makan siang dan makan malam melalui menu TV, yang nyaman dan mudah. Tidak butuh waktu lama sampai dikirimkan ke kamar kami. Makanan in-room dining-nya sangat enak! Kami tidak bisa berhenti berkata wow. Kami mendengar bahwa pendiri Tom's, restoran, sebenarnya mendapat 2 bintang Michelin.  Tidak heran.

2. Amenities:

Breakfast: 5/5 - We had our breakfast at Tom’s. That’s the only restaurant they have that was open at the time. As expected, the quality of the food was very good and tasty. The variety on offer is good too, with both a la carte and a buffet. 

Sarapan Pagi: 5/5 - Kami sarapan di Tom's. Itulah satu-satunya restoran yang mereka miliki yang buka saat itu. Seperti yang diharapkan, kualitas makanannya sangat baik dan enak. Variasi yang ditawarkan juga bagus, dengan a la carte dan prasmanan.

Swimming Pool: 5/5 - We first visited their indoor swimming pool as the staff informed Daddy that the outdoor one was being cleaned. As it turned out when we got there, the guy who was on duty around the indoor swimming pool said that they were cleaning the indoor swimming pool, and we can come back again tomorrow, but we still can use the outdoor swimming pool that afternoon instead. I guess there was a miscommunication between Daddy and the staff who informed him. The indoor pool is on the 63rd floor, the outdoor one is on the 6th floor. The outdoor pool was quite busy and windy. We spent less than an hour there, it was still fun though. I liked the pool’s cute pink towels.

Kolam Renang: 5/5 - Kami pertama kali mengunjungi kolam renang dalam ruangan mereka ketika staf memberi tahu Daddy bahwa kolam yang luar sedang dibersihkan. Ternyata ketika kami sampai di sana, orang yang bertugas di sekitar kolam renang dalam ruangan mengatakan bahwa mereka sedang membersihkan kolam renang dalam ruangan, dan kami dapat kembali lagi besok, tetapi kami masih dapat menggunakan kolam renang luar ruangan sore itu sebagai gantinya. Saya rasa ada miskomunikasi antara Daddy dan staf yang memberi tahu dia. Kolam renang indoor ada di lantai 63, kolam outdoor ada di lantai 6. Kolam renang luar ruangan cukup sibuk dan berangin. Kami menghabiskan kurang dari satu jam di sana, itu masih menyenangkan. Saya menyukai handuk merah muda yang lucu di kolam renang.

Gym: 5/5 - They have 2 gyms! Sadly, I didn’t get the chance to experience them, since we had been busy with Izzy’s birthday preparations and celebration. We only visited the one on the 63rd floor for a bit, it was empty, quite big, super clean, and they have all the equipment we would need.

Gym: 5/5 - Mereka memiliki 2 gym! Sayangnya, saya tidak sempat mencobanya, karena kami disibukkan dengan persiapan dan perayaan ulang tahun Izzy. Kami hanya mengunjungi gym yang satu di lantai 63 sebentar, gym-nya kosong, cukup besar, sangat bersih, dan mereka memiliki semua peralatan yang kami butuhkan.

3. Location: 5/5 - Perfect location in Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), a well-known with good reputation area.

4. Overall service4.5/5 - Almost perfect if it comes to the service. But, generally excellent all-round! It was just a bit of a turn down when they said that we were not allowed to do a late check-out, we had to leave before 12. Maybe they were just that busy. Huff!

5. Value: 5/5 - We received a 500k food & beverage voucher, woohoo! We did not expect that whatsoever, we didn’t even know that was included in the booking we made. We were informed by the receptionist during our check-in. We then reconfirmed through phone, as we still didn’t expect that. So lucky!

3. Lokasi: 5/5 - Lokasi yang sempurna di Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), daerah yang terkenal dengan reputasi baik.

4. Servis Secara Keseluruhan:  4.5/5 - Hampir sempurna secara pelayananan. Tapi, secara umum serba luar biasa! Hanya sedikit kecewa ketika mereka mengatakan bahwa kami tidak diizinkan untuk check-out terlambat, kami harus keluar sebelum jam 12. Mungkin mereka lagi sibuk banget. Huff!

5. Harga: 5/5 - Kami menerima voucher makanan & minuman 500rb, woohoo! Kami tidak mengharapkan itu, kami bahkan tidak tahu bahwa itu termasuk dalam pemesanan yang kami buat. Kami diberitahu oleh resepsionis selama kami check-in. Kami kemudian mengkonfirmasi ulang melalui telepon, karena kami masih tidak menyangka. Sangat beruntung!

It’s time to say goodbye to this great hotel. Hope we will be back again soon. We were so stoked by its facilities and glad that we could manage to decorate Izzy’s small birthday celebration in our hotel room. It took less than 2 hours, and Izzy was out cold when we started it around, I guess it was around 10 PM. She loved every minute of it though, and had a great day! Alrighty, see you soon, folks! ;)

Saatnya mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada hotel yang luar biasa ini. Berharap kami akan kembali lagi segera. Kami sangat terpukau dengan fasilitasnya dan senang bisa mendekorasi perayaan ulang tahun kecil Izzy di kamar hotel kami. Butuh waktu kurang dari 2 jam, dan Izzy sedang tertidur lelap ketika kami memulainya, saya kira itu sekitar jam 10 malam. Dia sangat menyukainya, dan menjalani hari yang menyenangkan! Baiklah, sampai jumpa lagi, teman-teman! ;)
