For many travellers, Jakarta begins and ends at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Close by, FM7 Resort Hotel Jakarta Airport offers a calm place to land, with 386 modern rooms suited to business trips and family holidays alike. Airport transfers can be arranged with 24 hours' notice, making an early departure feel a little more civilised.
Between flights, guests can unwind in the indoor pool, then the sauna and steam room. The hot and cold plunge pools ease tired muscles after a long flight.
Dining runs on a flexible schedule, handy for odd arrival times. AJ Brandon is open around the clock, with a menu that moves from Malay to Korean. Lulu Lala, the hotel's cake shop, is where the pastry team shows off its chocolate sculptures and handmade desserts. In the evening, Montezuma Rooftop Bar suits a nightcap, with live music to round off the day.
With the Livistana Grand Ballroom and more than 20 meeting rooms, the hotel handles events large and small. It is a hotel built around travel, yet comfortable enough to linger in.
