Finally, I had the opportunity to share how wonderful our experience with Mini Countryman #MINIpicnic by Mandarin Oriental Jakarta. #MINIpicnic is one of the exclusive packages offered by Mandarin Oriental Jakarta to give guests a special and different experience while staying at the hotel. Mandarin Oriental Jakarta itself has been known as a luxury hotel located strategically in the heart of the city, surrounded by stylish shopping malls and many attractions of the city. It was my birthday and the very first time we stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, and we occupy the luxurious room of Oriental Suite.
The Oriental Suite is the second highest room provided by the Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, and we were truly amazed at the entire contents of the room inside. From stylish furnishings, wall of glass in the living room, large master bedroom, luxurious white bathroom (separate bath and walk-in shower), spacious study and dining area, complete with high-tech facilities, everything is so special. The room that’s located on the 23rd floor also offers the city view from above, overlooking Jalan Sudirman and the Welcome Monument. With city views, great service, and exceptional stay, I would highly recommend staying at the Mandarin Oriental Jakarta.
Our admiration doesn’t stop there alone. The staff seemed to know what we need before we even know. Besides the special greeting in a form of a lovely picture of ourself being displayed on the TV screen in the living room, they also prepared an evening cocktail before heading to dinner time. We enjoyed some evening cocktails by the pool that are provided directly by MO Bar and felt so relaxed with beautiful candle lights on the table that create a romantic atmosphere by the pool for both of us. Not to forget, the colorful Birthday balloons were really nice. Thank you, Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, you are so thoughtful!
From the evening cocktail by the pool, we headed to Lyon Restaurant for dinner. Both of us had a wonderful evening with great service and all dishes were prepared by Chef Thierry at Lyon Restaurant to their finest. We were treated as if we were royals during the #MINIpicnic program at Mandarin Oriental Jakarta. Everything we ate was fresh and tasty. You must visit this restaurant when you’re in Jakarta or whenever you look for a great French Cuisine in Jakarta. Thank you, Lyon Restaurant and Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, for a wonderful and unforgettable romantic dinner experience. I’ve made a special review about our dinner experience at Lyon, please click here to read more about it.
And finally, we had the opportunity to experience Jakarta in a MINI Countryman. MINI Cooper Countryman is a subcompact crossover SUV, with four doors and seating for five people that launched by BMW. It is our dream car, and we were very excited when they took us for a ride in this awesome car. We enjoyed a picnic in the lush greeneries of Taman Suropati near the hotel, and surprisingly, Lyon has prepared everything for us.
A picnic basket filled with mouth-watering dishes such as Leek and Emmental Quiche, Poached Prawn Salad with Marie Rose Sauce, Smoked Wild Salmon with Pita Bread, Classic Maine Lobster in a soft Brioche Bun, Marinated Burrata Cheese balsamic spread on focaccia, Foie Gras Tartine, etc. Lemonade and even White Wine were also there to complete our #MINIpicnic experience. We felt like we were on a mini vacation somewhere in the city, something that is unusual to do in a big city, but Mandarin Oriental Jakarta has succeeded in making us enjoy our quality time together.
Each exclusive MINI packages offering includes two nights’ accommodation in a luxurious Oriental Suite, a dedicated driver, breakfast, high speed internet and a complimentary late check-out at 6 pm, a private usage of the MINI Countryman throughout the stay as well as a limited edition MINI Lifestyle gift to take home. Packages are priced at IDR 7,888,888++ for #MINIshopping, IDR 8,888,888++ for #MINIculture, and IDR 9,999,999++ for #MINIpicnic catering a family of four. Overall, we had a fantastic MINI moment with MINI Countryman and all the outstanding facilities and services at Mandarin Oriental Jakarta. The room was spotlessly clean, well decorated with some fresh flowers, and the staff were very helpful. Thank you Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta for giving the best #MINIpicnic experience ever in our life.
