- Sheraton Bandara (Western
Jakarta) - This is located next to the Sukarno-Hatta International
airport in Jakarta. If you're planning a trip to Bandung this is a
fabulous hotel and restaurant at which to "lay over" ,although it's a
bit pricey. What is really nice is that they have a full time guy
working at the airport who helps you get your bags, go through customs
and put you on a bus to the Hotel. (Bandara Soekarno - Hatta, Jakarta
19110. Telp. (62-21) 559 7777 Fax. (62-21) 559-7700)
- Cemara Hotel (Central Jakarta) - This hotel
is cheap and a very short drive from the Gambir Train station in central
Jakarta. It is also walking distance to the US Embassy and to a number
of great American restaurants (Chilis, Tony Romas, Hard Rock Cafe ...)
It has a small pool on the roof and I've seen many other foriegners stay
here. (Jl. Cemara No 1 Jakarta 10350, Telp 62-21-390-8215, 314-9985,
Fax: 324-668, Email cemara@centrin.net.id.)
- Borobudur Hotel (Central Jakarta) - This 5
star hotel is also very close to the Gambir Train station and has a huge
green property right in the center of Jakarta. Its not cheap but its
worth the stay if you need to be in central Jakarta. This is very close
to the US Embassy but you still need to take a taxi.
- Imperial Aryaduta
Hotel (West of Jakarta in Lippo Karawaci near Tanggarang) - This
hotel is about an hour drive west from the center of Jakarta and is
right next to a great country club. If you stay at the hotel you can use
all the fascilities of the club which include an awesome pool, tennis
courts, gym, badmitton courts, climbing wall, game room and a couple
nice places to eat. It is located accross the street from the Karawaci
Supermall which has some great stores, a good food court and a bowling
alley. This whole area is clean and green with a golf course and driving
range as well. Its a refreshing place to stay if you have to be near
Jakarta. (401 Bulavar Jend. Sudirman, Lippo Karawaci 1300 Tangerang
