Novotel Jakarta Mangga Dua Square

Set beside the Mangga Dua Square shopping complex in North Jakarta, the Novotel puts guests within easy reach of the city's business and retail districts, with the international airport around 30 minutes away by car. The building reads as a working hotel rather than a landmark: floors of rooms stacked above a lobby built for transit, meetings, and quick turnarounds. Rooms start at 32 m², running up through Deluxe Suites at 80 m² to an Executive Suite at 105 m², several with oversized bathtubs or a separate tub and shower. Premier Floor rooms sit higher in the building, above the noise of the square below. The Square restaurant serves Asian and international dishes in a plain, contemporary dining room, useful after a day of meetings or errands nearby. Meeting rooms and event space make up a real part of the hotel's business, and staff work with conference groups as readily as with families. Check-in runs from 2pm. It is a hotel built around function: close to shops, close to offices, close to the road out to the airport, with little pretence beyond getting the basics right for whoever walks through the door, whether on a business trip or a family visit to Mangga Dua's markets.
