DESIGN

It is not often when a Jakarta hotel is featured on the cover of international design magazines, so when Alila Jakarta appeared on the cover of the June 2002 U.S. edition of Interior Design magazine more than a few people took notice.

Designed by the architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall, Alila Jakarta has been praised for reminding us that “simplicity and serenity go hand in hand” with its “elegant and elemental furnishings.” Indeed, since opening its doors in May 2001 Alila Jakarta has become known as the first true design hotel in the city and set the standard for architecture and service that reflect contemporary life.
