Festive package at Regent Jakarta

JAKARTA (JP): The Regent Jakarta is offering a festive package to enable people to celebrate both Idul Fitri and Chinese New Year, which falls on Jan. 28, its executive said in a statement yesterday.

"Idul Fitri and Chinese New Year fall during the same week this year. We want to be able to cater for both celebrations," Julius Santos, the hotel's director of marketing, said.

"It may also be helpful for those whose household staff are away at this time of the year."

Offering a special rate of US$135++ per night, the package includes breakfast in the hotel's dining restaurant, Seasons Cafe or sahur (the Ramadhan predawn meal) delivered to the room, he said.

He explained that the festive package also offered a 50% discount off the special rate for a second room for family members.

The package is valid from Jan. 26 to Feb. 8 and available for Indonesian citizens and foreigners holding stay permits (KIMs) only, he said. (hhr)
