The Langham, Jakarta has opened its doors within the District 8 complex at SCBD (Sudirman Central Business District).
Designed by the Singapore-based Smallwood Reynolds Stewart Stewart, the 65-storey hotel embodies classical design elements, fusing glamour with urban sophistication.
Upon entering the arrival lobby on the ground floor, all eyes will be drawn towards the magnificent chandelier depicting 3,000 fluttering crystal butterflies, some of which are suspended by intricate wire work. Titled “Haven” by Lasvit, the renowned designers of dazzling bespoke light installations from the Czech Republic, the chandelier takes its inspiration from the Indonesian rainforests where butterflies fly freely thereby creating an ethereal aesthetic in the remarkable space. The elaborate construct of Haven is evident in the beautiful champagne-coloured lattice that is reminiscent of a Monarch butterfly’s wings.
On the 62nd floor at the Sky Lobby, a second 10-metre high chandelier also by Lasvit commands the attention and admiration of the guests. The curated collection of art throughout the hotel showcases the finest works from Indonesian artists, painters and photographers including John Martono, Hanafi, Jumaldi Alfi, Jay Subyakto, and Chaerul Umam.

Fitness enthusiasts may make full use of the in-suite gym with a trainer on demand for private sessions.
