Located strategically in the
heart of Sudirman Central
Business District, Alila SCBD
Jakarta recently unveiled
two distinctive event spaces
to cater for cocktails and
business meetings. Designed
as a gathering space for
creative types, the 512 sq m
Artisian Bar offers a high-
ceilinged space decorated
with artworks from
Indonesia’s indigenous ethnic
groups, such as Kalimantan’s
Dayak tribe. The adjoining bar
features signature cocktails
like Espresso Tonic or JKT
Confidential.
If you are looking for a
view to kill, book the Event
Gallery on the third floor;
it grants a panorama of the
city. The 714 sq m space not
only accommodates 769
guests (standing space), it also
connects directly to the hotel’s
pool terrace. SCBD Lot 1, Jl.

In a bid to grow its own produce, W
Bali – Seminyak has set up a 326 sq m
Chef’s Garden to farm a wide variety
of vegetables, herbs, microgreens,
fruits and edible flowers. The yield is
used by the resort’s restaurants and
bars, be it the freshly plucked mint in
Woobar Bali’s mojitos or the coriander
in FIRE’s Peking Duck Rice Paper Rolls.
Guests can opt for the Wanna Be Chef
interactive meal experience at Starfish
Bloo, which involves harvesting the
produce and cooking the ingredients.
