Eating Like a Star at Planet Hollywood

The world's only dining experience entirely inspired by the world of movies, Planet Hollywood, established its 16th restaurant worldwide; in Jakarta in 1994.

Planet Hollywood Jakarta is Asia's premier dining experience, and is leading the way for another 16 Planet Hollywood restaurants to open up across the region.

The concept for Planet Hollywood was originated by Keith Barish, the film producer responsible for "The Fugitive", "Sophie's Choice" and "9 1/2 Weeks". In 1989, he met restaurateur Robert Earl, and the two quickly struck up a partnership. Soon afterward, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis joined as partners.

The first Planet Hollywood was launched in New York in October 1991 with a glittering, star-studded party. While here in Jakarta, special bleachers were set up to accommodate thousands of people at the "Planet Hollywood Open Air Extravaganza".

Following 16 launches in major cities, Planet Hollywood has proved to be a resounding success, enjoying endless worldwide media attention and constant queues.

Planet Hollywood Jakarta is located in Jakarta's central business area, conveniently next to Kartika Chandra Hotel. The 2000-square-meter venue can seat 380 diners with an additional 100 persons in the spacious bar area, making it one of Jakarta's largest restaurants.

Planet Hollywood features an extensive signature memorabilia collection, which has now become the restaurant's trademark. The Jakarta venue also features the dinosaur head from Jurrasic Park, Michael Keaton's flying cape from Batman Returns, The Cyborg from Terminator 2, Sylvester Stallone On Ice from Demolition Man, The Alien head from the movie Aliens, Kevin Costner 's costume from Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves and one of the dresses Lucille Ball wore on I Love Lucy, just to mention a few.

The menu echoes other Planet Hollywood restaurants with fresh dishes, which have become integral to the new Californian classic cuisine including unusual pastas, exotic salads, burgers, pizzas, smoked and grilled fish and meats, as well as a range of desserts. A selection of Indo - Californian dishes are also on offer, as well as daily specials.

Planet Hollywood Jakarta's merchandise shop is situated in the restaurant itself. Items on sale include T-Shirts, caps, sweatshirts, jackets and watches.
