Located in the heart of the city’s financial hub, Citadines Sudirman Jakarta brings strong green credentials to the Indonesian capital
Anyone that’s been to Jakarta knows how important location is in a city famed for its traffic jams. Citadines Sudirman Jakarta is strategically located in The Newton 1, a mixed-use development in the coveted ‘golden triangle’. Surrounded by shopping malls, modern office buildings, and innovative eateries, the property is just a stone’s throw away from the busy Sudirman area and some of Jakarta’s main business and entertainment hotspots.
First Impressions
Visitors to the city will find the new complex a welcomed respite, with world-class facilities set against green belts and modern architecture. The vibe when arriving is that of a luxury apartment complex and after a speedy check-in process, I made my way up to my One-Bedroom Deluxe King suite.
The Room
Citadines Sudirman Jakarta offers the comfort of serviced residences and the flexibility of a hotel. The property boasts 253 units ranging from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as family suites. Each apartment has a private balcony offering stunning cityscape views and is fully furnished with amenities such as LED TVs, a microwave oven, an induction stove, a refrigerator as well as a high-quality air conditioning system with air filtering and air quality monitoring capabilities.
My 41 sqm One-Bedroom Deluxe King suite is all a busy visitor to the Indonesian capital could need. The fully-equipped kitchen makes cooking dead easy, especially with the ample dining table and full-sized refrigerator, while the bedroom boasts a superbly comfortable king-sized bed and a dedicated workspace. The bathroom, while snug, has a separate shower with a heavenly showerhead and there’s plenty of room to tuck luggage away.
Facilities
The new property has plenty to keep guests busy and active during their stay thanks to Citadines’ activ∞ (pronounced as ‘activate’) programme, which combines amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool and fitness zone with an outdoor jogging track and fitness corner, to networking events and neighbourhood discovery insights. Other useful facilities at the property include a kid’s pool and a launderette.
Green Credentials
With an EDGE certification from the Green Building Council Indonesia, Citadines Sudirman Jakarta is the first Citadines property in Jakarta to introduce green building concepts, including Low-E laminated double glass, LED bulbs, VRV Cooling system and multi-split AC for energy savings. The building also uses efficient water fixtures and has high-efficiency air filtration systems to maintain safe levels of indoor air quality such as Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5.
