Maximum security, '6-star' Ritz-Carlton opens<\/p>\n
The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta, opened
\nits doors to the public on Sunday, the first Ritz in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The \"six-star\" hotel is the 59th worldwide for the U.S.-based
\nhotel chain. A soft opening took place on Sunday in a modest
\nceremony and the grand opening will be on May 9.<\/p>\n
Standing tall in a key business area in the capital, each of
\nthe its 333 rooms -- including a 400-square-meter presidential
\nsuite priced at US$5,888++ per night -- cater to the guests'
\nneeds for privacy and comfort.<\/p>\n
\"What makes the hotel stand out from others is the service we
\nprovide,\" public relations manager Daneshwari Retnowardhani told
\nThe Jakarta Post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Diners can consult with the hotel's experts when selecting
\nwine in its Prime Steak House or enjoy a satisfying gastronomic
\nexperience at its other two restaurants -- the Portovenere
\nItalian restaurant and Airlangga restaurant -- along with the
\nclub lounge or the private leisure room for lunch or snacks with
\nfamily members and colleagues.<\/p>\n
As recreation is also an important part any full-service
\nhotel, there is a 24-hour fitness center available.<\/p>\n
Run under the same management as JW Marriott Hotel, which
\nstands across the street, the hotel is designed for maximum
\nsecurity, possibly a reaction to the terrorist bomb at the
\nMarriott in August 2003. That attack killed 12 and injured 147
\nothers. -- JP<\/p>",
