Jakarta - The Executive Lounge at JW Marriott Jakarta is a warm and inviting space, where comfort, elegance, and a relaxed atmosphere come together to create the perfect setting for a family dinner. From the moment we entered, the space had calm, inviting energy, soft lighting, cozy sofas, and large windows framing sparkling city views made it the kind of spot where evenings stretch into moments of quiet joy. It was easy to see why this lounge is a favorite for couples, business travelers, and families who want a special touch at the end of the day.
The light dinner spread offered a carefully curated buffet that balanced international flavors with simple, comforting dishes. We started with fresh sushi, tuna ceviche, and crostini, enjoying the delicate textures and vibrant tastes. The Indonesian corner added a familiar, homely touch with rujak, tahu balado, and otak-otak, bringing a hint of local flavor to the evening. There were also vegetable spring rolls, grilled chicken sandwiches, and chicken buns that felt light yet satisfying. For mains, the selection didn’t disappoint, beef basil, tandoori chicken, sweet and sour fish, mixed butter vegetables, Greek boiled potato, Hokkien fried noodles, and mushroom soup provided a delightful variety, ensuring everyone in the family found something to enjoy.
Evenings were made sweeter by the desserts, lemon meringue, coffee panna cotta, black forest, and avocado cake offered a perfect balance of indulgence and freshness. Fresh sliced fruits, including snake fruit, oranges, and apples, rounded out the meal beautifully. There was a relaxed, yet thoughtful rhythm to the dining experience that made it feel personal without being overwhelming.
What truly made the Executive Lounge stand out was the hospitality. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness created a seamless experience for both foreign and local guests. Every request was met with a smile, including asking for rice, which wasn’t part of the standard buffet but was prepared promptly whenever needed. Small touches, like a well-stocked mini refrigerator and a station of cookies and snacks, added to the comfort and convenience.
Sharing this dinner together became more than just a meal, it was a way to pause and savor the day, appreciating the city view, the calm atmosphere, and the thoughtful offerings. It’s a space that encourages connection, whether enjoying quiet conversations over a slice of cake, exploring new flavors with the kids, or simply relaxing on the sofa after a day of sightseeing.
