Executive lounge is one great facility to meet the needs of the increasing number of business travellers visiting Jakarta.
Hopes are pinned on the hotel industry in Indonesia’s capital, especially with Jakarta becoming one of Asia’s destinations of Meetings, Incentives, Convention and Exhibitions (MICE).
Jakarta’s growing and competitive MICE market has contributed to the revenue growth in the hotel industry. Correspondingly, many hotels particularly those in the four- and five-star bracket are outdoing each other presenting their best services in order to win the hearts of customers.
Apart from delivering services with warm hospitality, providing high standard of facilities increases the level of customer satisfaction in the hotel industry. One of the facilities that can entice customers, particularly guests of business travellers, is the provision of executive lounge.
Eric Faivre, general manager at Alila Hotel Jakarta, says that executive lounges are most likely to differ from one another, particularly in how the facilities and services are delivered. “In spite of their differences, the most important is that an executive lounge should function as a venue for business meetings, gatherings and relaxing sanctuary.”
Exclusive & Elegant
Alila Hotel Jakarta has recently launched the new Executive Lounge to accommodate the hotel’s executive guests with exclusive facilities and services.
Located on the seventh floor, the Executive Lounge is designed with a sophisticated blend of simple and elegant interiors. “The 78-seat capacity lounge with Wi-Fi connectivity is truly an ideal venue for various events and gatherings,” Eric explains, adding that the lounge is also a superb place to unwind.
Guests staying in premiere or executive suite are entitled to access to the lounge. “Here, they can enjoy breakfast buffet and a la carte, as well as a light dinner with evening cocktails and canapés,” he further explains.
Since opening its doors in 2001, Alila Hotel Jakarta has attracted countless number of local and foreign tourists, particularly business travellers, owing to the hotel’s contemporary and minimalist design, as well as more personalized services delivered with closer attention to detail compared with large hotels.
