The hotel also boasts decent leisure facilities including an outdoor swimming pool as well as jogging track; not to mention the good choice of eating venues and a karaoke room.

The Four Seasons Jakarta
Plush rooms and lavish public areas impress at this 365-room hotel in the city centre.

Worth the relative expense.
