The Diary of a Hotel Addict
Mandarin Oriental Jakarta: Mandarin Deluxe Room
© yohanes.budiyanto, 2009
An overview of the Mandarin Oriental's newly introduced Mandarin Deluxe Room, which is the hotel's top tier room. The 64 m2 room is practically a Suite, by adjoining two rooms with separate Living and Bedroom area, interconnected through series of discreet sliding doors.
The spacious room has its own foyer, marked by dark timber louvres; and a separate study area next to the living room. It also features two 42" LCD TV with DVD players; mood lighting; 480-thread count linens to guarantee a restful sleep; ipod connectivity; and a spacious marble bathroom.
Although I personally think LTW Designworks could have put more wow-factor to the room design in comparison to its sister properties in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore; it is still supremely comfortable.
But is it the best in Jakarta? Definately not. With serious teething problems encountered during my stay shortly after its Grand Opening, the Mandarin Oriental needs serious commitment to deliver excellence in customer service to reposition itself as the finest hotel in the capital. At the moment, it is messy and chaotic; and certainly not ready to anticipate guests yet.
Like a good wine, we just have to see when it has matured in the near future....
