A millennium bash to remember at Hotel Mulia
A millennium bash to remember at Hotel Mulia
Hotel Mulia Senayan will be the place to greet the new
millennium for those who want to enjoy themselves and let the
worry-warts take care of Y2K problems.
At center stage for its celebration is its Millennium Gala
Dinner, featuring renowned composer and choreographer Guruh
Soekarnoputra. He will be more than adequately complemented by
the Twilite Orchestra, conducted by Addie MS.
The countdown will start at 8 p.m., with outstanding fare
cooked up for the gala dinner by Hotel Mulia's team of chefs.
Revelers who wish to take part in Jakarta's biggest
extravaganza to end one millennium and kick off the next should
be sure to book soon.
"We already have had a lot of inquiries," said Sarah
Hutabarat, assistant public relations manager. "We hope people
will book early for their seats."
For people who prefer to enjoy an intimate dinner for two far
from the madding crowd of the celebration, Hotel Mulia boasts a
superb selection of restaurants spanning the continents.
Read that carefully: we are not talking about a hodgepodge of
dishes from around the world lumped on a coffee shop menu, but
individual restaurants cooking up specialty cuisine.
Il Mare Italian restaurant, located on the ground floor of the
hotel, has already carved out its reputation as a site to savor
food from the land of pasta and prosciutto. As its name implies
(for those nonproficient in romance languages, il Mare means The
Sea) the specialty of Italian chef Gabriele Noe is seafood,
dressed and paraded out in all its festive splendor.
The culinary journey does not stop there. Feasts of delights
will be available at the newly relaunched Samudra Suki
Restaurant, already winning plaudits for its Indochine fare;
Edogin, which marries Japanese and Californian; Samudra's Shark
Fin for the best in Cantonese and other Chinese food; and the
Cafe, with its international selections.
A delicious dinner can be followed by a leisurely coffee and
dessert in the Cascade Lounge, which is renowned for its High Tea
Buffet. Or get into the party spirit with a drink at CJ's Bar,
with entertainment by Shiok Crew Band.
To prepare for the night to remember, Hotel Mulia has a grand
fitness center. Work up an appetite on some of the most
sophisticated fitness equipment in the country, and open your
pores in the sauna and steam rooms. The hot and cold plunge pools
will reinvigorate guests for the partying to come. A beautiful
swimming pool on the same floor is the right spot to do a few
laps, or let the kids splash around for some afternoon fun.
There will be no worries about elevators stopping in mid
journey or the hotel plunging into darkness. Hotel Mulia Senayan
has put in place its cures to ensure the Y2K bug does not leave
its guests feeling under the weather. Systems have been tried
out, staff put through their paces and the hotel is ready and
waiting.
"We have long anticipated the worst of effects from Y2K, and
have a fully implemented plan to deal with the worst it could
throw our way," Sarah said. "Guests will not have to worry, but
can get on with enjoying their special night." (brc)
