Location
The hotel is located next to the iconic Bundaran roundabout on Jalan M.H. Thamrin. It is also directly connected to Plaza Indonesia mall.
- 40 mins drive to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport
Arrival
Upon arrival, we had our body temperatures taken and were assisted with our luggages before being directed to the reception.
I noticed extensive renovation work being done to the lobby area but there wasn’t much noise throughout my stay.
I had booked the base King room and was upgraded to the newly-renovated Capital Suite (upon request) as a Globalist member.
Capital Suite
Room 2011 is 100sqm / 1,076sqft in size.
This newly-renovated suite is the second-highest room category in the hotel at the moment. There is a ‘Capital Suite Bundaran View’ with a great view of the roundabout. The Grand Suite (lower category) is also newly-renovated.
Considering the limitations of an old building, I think this suite was very well furnished! Although, I would have loved a fully-carpeted suite.

Grand Club Lounge
The Grand Club Lounge is undergoing renovation too but it didn’t stop me from staying in this hotel as I was told about the generous club lounge replacement for Globalist members!
Instead of the usual afternoon tea and hors d’oeuvre in the lounge, I was offered the following:
Afternoon tea
Drinks and snacks at Grand Cafe or Fountain Lounge from 3.30 to 4.30pm.
We went to Fountain Lounge for the afternoon tea but was served by a really unfriendly staff, which is abnormal in Indonesia! We then moved to Grand Cafe instead. We had a choice of local snacks, coffee/tea and fresh juices on top of that.
Hors d’oeuvre
Hors d’oeuvre replacement was served at Grand Cafe from 6 to 8pm. We could order 1 starter, 1 main, 1 dessert and unlimited drinks. And this includes the beef tenderloin that costs IDR 450k++ each! That’s about S$52 nett. 🤯
Here’s the lunch and dinner menu at Grand Cafe:

Breakfast is served at Grand Cafe restaurant from 6 to 10.30am and is complimentary for Globalist members. We had the option of having it sent to the room and went for that option!
Food quality was great.

Bottom line
I knew beforehand that this hotel was going through extensive renovation but decided to stay anyway. Mainly because the beautiful newly-renovated suites are ready and the outstanding club lounge replacement!
