The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

The Langham, Jakarta is a 65-story luxury hotel situated in the heart of the central business district. Guests consistently highlight the sleek rooms with oak herringbone floors, Duxiana Blissful Beds, and attentive service coordinated by the 62nd-floor concierge. However, guests must navigate a complex multi-lift transfer system to move between amenities, and lower-tier rooms face an adjacent office building. 5794

Every line below traces back to something a traveler actually wrote — open a line to read the original sentence and follow it to the source.

What travelers noticed

  • Soundproofed rooms paired with electronic blackout blinds and Duxiana mattresses reliably ensure a solid night of sleep. 166
  • The central SCBD location allows guests to walk easily to neighborhood restaurants, grocery spots, and nearby malls like FX Sudirman. 6109
  • Concierge staff and Langham Club attendants receive high marks for personal attention, including WhatsApp communication and custom off-menu dishes. 4
  • Bathrooms are lavishly outfitted with floor-to-ceiling marble, double vanities, and Toto toilets. 3145

The catch

  • While higher floors and the rooftop lap pool offer sweeping city views, basic rooms face directly into an adjacent office building. 107
  • Most guests praise the deep marble soaking tubs, but others found the tubs uncomfortably large and noted shower water leaking past the door gap. 310

Who it's for

  • Business travelers working in the SCBD
  • Couples seeking luxury rooms with premium bedding
  • Guests who appreciate attentive club lounge service

Skip it if

  • You dislike navigating multi-elevator transfers to reach your room
  • You require guaranteed skyline views on entry-level room bookings

  • Elegant living spaces. The rooms are designed with a perfect blend of modern style and comfort. I loved having a separate bathtub and shower, plus a cozy sitting area to relax in. 60:27
  • And while corner bedrooms are always the best in hotels, this room is probably the most impressive bathroom I've ever seen - 55 floors up, with dual aspect floor-to-ceiling windows with wide-ranging views over the city the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, built for the 1962 Asian Games. 5

  • They come with freestanding bathtubs, walk-in marble bathrooms, comfortable signature FS beds, a living room with a desk, and two TVs. Truly a phenomenal room. I might go as far as to say that this could be the nicest room out of all the city FSs in the world. 8
  • For this Langham Jakarta review I stayed in a Deluxe Skyline room on the 59th floor, where the sunsets are spectacular and the night-time lights of the city stretch out endlessly below. 14

  • While many hotels have their own branded beds, there was something special about the Langham Blissful Bed and the accompanying bedding which facilitated an excellent night's sleep. 4
  • Langham's Blissful Beds, produced by Swedish mattress masters Duxiana, combined with solid soundproofing and electronic blinds that black out every chink of light guarantee a good night's sleep. 16

  • had breakfast here my first day and everything was really good really nice quality everything tasted very flavorful so let's start the tour with this salad area On camera213:41
  • The elegant décor and restaurants with close connections to Michelin-star chefs make the property a destination in itself. 11
  • Swish suites with marble bathrooms and big beds invite couples to unwind after delicious drinks & dinners 11
  • Commendably, the buffet gives you access to no less than nine different types of sambals - Sambal Soto, Sambal Mbe, Sambal Colo Colo, Sambal Kacang, Sambai Ijo, Sambal Matah, Sambal Terasi, Sambal Kecombrang and Sambal Kemangi. 4
  • The breakfast selection is fairly extensive. 4
  • A culinary journey. Dining here is an event in itself, ranging from lavish buffet breakfasts to elegant a la carte dinners. On camera60:43
  • Alto is the restaurant on the top floor which has everything you can think of from Tiramisu to caviar, to truffle pasta to Wagyu Steak, a fantastic restaurant. 8
  • Food and drink-wise, the Langham Lounge is also one of the most generous we've encountered anywhere, serving hot and cold food from breakfast until 11 pm (including a la carte dishes, an afternoon tea service and evening cocktails). 16
  • exceptional service fantastic design and great food thanks for watching and all yeah really great location too peace On camera217:56
  • Food (8.5/10): breakfast buffet was incredible, pastries and bread were fresh and the selection was very varied-they even had an ice cream cart for breakfast. 10
  • The buffet itself is beautifully composed, with yoghurt, cold cuts and a variety of salads laid out alongside a broad spread of hot and cold choices. 14
  • Beyond the buffet spread, a selection of warm local and international dishes is cooked to order. I happily worked my way through avocado toast and the Signature Langham Breakfast on separate mornings, both beautifully done. 14
  • The Langham also offers a gym and a couple of great restaurants, one being Cantonese dining and the other European cuisine with some of the finest steak you will come across in Jakarta. 8
  • From the lunch/dinner menu, the Hand Dived Spiced Scallops (pickled and curried cauliflower, curry vinaigrette) and Tuna Salmon Avocado Tartare (lemon aioli, baguette crisp) were suitably competent starters. 4
  • Dinner is where Alice really shines. The kitchen sends out serious plates of meat, and I can vouch for both the steak and the classic Tournedos Rossini, which arrived tender, flavourful 14
  • I've always felt the Four Seasons service stellar and when an issue arose at the restaurant, they offered to host me next time for dinner at the restaurant, a very pleasant surprise. Also with rates starting at 196$ per night, it could be a no-brainer. 8
  • They also have an afternoon tea menu, which has a LOT of food on it for only $30 dollars for two people. We didn't have this but we did have tea and cake, and the patisseries were incredible. 10
  • Outfitted by AvroKO (who also designed restaurants at Rosewood Bangkok, The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore and Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River), the sophisticated space sports deep blue walls and plush leather banquettes for an elegant dining experience. 4
  • yeah that is the Buffet here and the restaurant itself like I said really nice place fantastic views of Jakarta On camera217:11
  • The Langham Hotel also has delicious dining options available in stunning restaurants. 7
  • Value for money was incredible (approx $850 USD for 3 nights, laundry, pick up from airport, 2x room service and 1x restaurant dinner). 10
  • Restaurant food was also very good, as was room service, though our steaks weren't as hot as I'd have liked them which was a slight let down and the reason behind my score. 10
  • I've always felt the Four Seasons service stellar and when an issue arose at the restaurant, they offered to host me next time for dinner at the restaurant, a very pleasant surprise. 8
  • So the next best thing is Morimoto, a Japanese restaurant on the 63rd floor, where I can heartily recommend the Slow Encounter, a cocktail finished with matcha. It's the perfect accompaniment to wagyu beef, sushi, black cod and edamame. 5

  • obviously since there were such little people here the service was fantastic with all the staff knowing your name bye by the time you check in really On camera29:09
  • To top it off, The Langham Club team went the extra mile to ensure I felt pampered and important throughout my stay. From accommodating my various guest requests to leaving little customised surprises in my room during turndown service, and even sharing my dining preferences with the team at Tom's by Tom Aikens prior to my dinner, I was always made to feel like a VIP. 4
  • exceptional service fantastic design and great food thanks for watching and all yeah really great location too peace On camera217:56
  • Exceptional service. The staff is truly world-class, making sure every detail is handled with grace. From concierge assistance to the seamless check-in process, they make you feel truly cared for. On camera61:16
  • Throughout my stay, more surprises and complimentary gifts were to come my way, including a surprising serving of Negroni prepared specifically using Roku gin (and a cute hand-drawn note) courtesy of the staff from The Langham Club who noted my gin preferences from prior interactions. 4
  • and then the venue itself is one of my favorite and the world I think staff are great and then you do get this stunning view from the 61st floor here The Langham Carter On camera212:52
  • The UTW ("Under Ten Words"): British-tinged ultra-luxury with superlative service in the heart of Jakarta. 4
  • The one issue I had with them is we confirmed a rate over email and then one day later when I went to pay they said it had changed. It happens, but considering a 13-hour time difference it would have been nice that it was honored. 8
  • There is also a fabulous and oh-so-personal turn-down service (my absolute favourite part of staying in a hotel, that and the breakfast spread - of which more later). I was left a Langham Theodore bear and some bookmarks every night, with a little note on my book from the room team saying they noticed I liked to read. A lovely touch. 5
  • Service (9/10) - overall it was great service. The staff were friendly without being overbearing and requests were dealt with swiftly on the whole. 10

  • The scenery at ALICE is a wonderful combination of the Old World and the New You will find amazing dishes to suite all palates presented with a French flair for style On camera97:24
  • The linen was fantastic, soft and thick, as were the fluffy towers, and the toiletries were also really good. Our room (as it was the most basic) faced an office building which wasn't ideal but the sheer drapes gave us the privacy we needed. 10
  • For this Langham Jakarta review I stayed in a Deluxe Skyline room on the 59th floor, where the sunsets are spectacular and the night-time lights of the city stretch out endlessly below. 14
  • On that point, the room was completely black out (I don't know why so many hotels struggle with this) which was very welcome for two people who hate even the smallest light when sleeping. 10
  • I love that my room featured floor to ceiling windows, this only enhanced the amazing views and made the room feel big and spacious On camera92:23
  • The beds are also comfortable but what stands out with the rooms is the hominess of them, they feel very cozy. With great decorations and TVs that almost immerse in the room, you are in for a relaxing time. 8
  • They come with freestanding bathtubs, walk-in marble bathrooms, comfortable signature FS beds, a living room with a desk, and two TVs. Truly a phenomenal room. I might go as far as to say that this could be the nicest room out of all the city FSs in the world. 8
  • Rooms are a little bit smaller here, starting at 450 square feet. The beds are also comfortable but what stands out with the rooms is the hominess of them, they feel very cozy. 8
  • During my time at the Langham I stayed in a Deluxe Skyline suite on the 59th floor The room was spacious and well appointed On camera92:08
  • Room design/amenities: (8/10) very sleek and luxurious, the bed was comfortable. 10
  • Offering panoramic views of the Jakarta landscape through floor-to-ceiling windows, the 45sqm Deluxe Cityscape room felt like a luxurious residence with its white panelled walls, oak herringbone floors, plush armchairs, faux fireplace and objets d'art. 4
  • The room itself is a study in calm: soft, warm tones, generous proportions and, of course, that endless sweep of glass framing the city. 14

Bathroom8 mentions · 2 filmed
  • I particularly loved the marble bathrooms rain shower heads and free standing bathtubs Everything was white with gold trim, which really increased the sense of elegance and luxury On camera92:55
  • The bathroom is a sublime affair in marble, with a free-standing soaking tub positioned to make the most of the view, double vanity sinks, an automated toilet and a separate rain shower. 14
  • The bath salts and loofah were a nice touch but it's disappointing that the higher category rooms and suites don't feature more luxurious amenities. 16
  • Elegant living spaces. The rooms are designed with a perfect blend of modern style and comfort. I loved having a separate bathtub and shower, plus a cozy sitting area to relax in. On camera60:27
  • The bathroom was massive (compared to my UK standards, we're not used to big bathrooms). 10
  • The shower was great in terms of water pressure, and there was both a handheld shower head and a waterfall one, but there was a gap between the door and the glass so the bathroom was easily drenched. 10
  • The bathroom light switch was also by the entrance which wasn't the most practical. 10
  • And while corner bedrooms are always the best in hotels, this room is probably the most impressive bathroom I've ever seen - 55 floors up, with dual aspect floor-to-ceiling windows with wide-ranging views over the city the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, built for the 1962 Asian Games. 5
