Sometimes we all need a short escape from the daily routine and our busy schedules and just take some time away, which is exactly what we did last month. We had the privilege to enjoy the newly renovated rooms at Le Meridien Jakarta<\/strong>, which is part of the story of our short staycation in this post. As you may know, Le Meridien Jakarta<\/strong> is part of Starwood Group<\/strong>; which offers a simple luxury and intimate charm in a traditional Javanese setting. Although it’s not the newest hotel in Jakarta, Le Meridien Jakarta<\/strong> still has the warmth and its charm, with a comfortable atmosphere, professional and friendly service, reasonable prices and a great location in the heart of Jakarta’s central business district (CBD) on Jalan Jendral Sudirman and directly across the World Trade Centre.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Short-Staycation-at-Le-Meridien-Jakarta-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”on” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Lovely-Swimming-Pool-at-Le-Meridien-Jakarta-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”on” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Room-sweet-room-at-Le-Meridien-Jakarta-by-Myfunfoodiary-rev.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_video admin_label=”Video” src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KS_yO2ixcl8″] The front desk handled our check in smoothly, and we were given some welcome drinks on arrival. The first thing about the\u00a0Premier\u00a0Room<\/strong> that caught my attention was the high window with a beautiful view of the city, coupled with some complimentary provided in the room, such as macarons, chocolates, and fresh fruits. Naturally, both of us took some selfies with the city view as the background. Oh, well, you know, good natural lighting is important for both of us.

It was the second time we had a similar dish and really enjoyed everything. From freshly baked Lebanese bread, the BBQ lamb, and all the meat were well seasoned, tasty, and nicely presented! I would recommend you to try them if you’re craving for something tasty, yet unique from a Middle Eastern food in Jakarta.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Sweet-Pannacotta-at-Al-Nafoura-Le-Meridien-Jakarta-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Although I didn\u2019t get a chance to explore and try out all the facilities, we had a 45-minute full body massage at Le Spa<\/strong> that made us feel relaxed during our stay. All in all, it was a wonderful stay for both of us, especially with the newly renovated room that is more inviting now.
