Weddings for up to 400 guests and meetings for up to 200 delegates can be held at The Dharmawangsa Jakarta, a hotel of 95 rooms and suites on Jalan Brawijaya Raya in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. The hotel offers five ballrooms, a garden lawn and a Penthouse Lounge, with its own chefs and planning team for every event.
Seminars and company events
The hotel aims its meeting offer at board meetings, off-site sessions and private investor days, for groups of up to 200 delegates. These formats call for discretion and a quiet setting, and the location in a residential district, away from the office towers of central Jakarta, supports that. Meals for a meeting can be served in the event space, and the chefs can also cook in a guest's suite for a private working dinner. The Penthouse Lounge gives a smaller setting for a reception or an informal session after the meeting.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a central part of the hotel's event business. The site gives a capacity of up to 400 guests and proposes two settings: a ballroom for a formal reception, or the garden lawn for an outdoor ceremony or party. The hotel's planning team handles the arrangements, and the executive chefs and pastry team design menus for each couple. The Cake Shop on site makes the hotel's cakes and pastries, which helps for a wedding cake or dessert table.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel lists five ballrooms, a garden lawn and the Penthouse Lounge. It does not publish the names, sizes or individual capacities of the ballrooms, so the right room for a given guest count is chosen with the events team. The overall figures are 400 guests for a wedding and 200 delegates for a meeting.
Accommodation
There are 95 rooms and suites, ranging from 66 to 443 square meters. Even the smallest room is large by city hotel standards, which helps visiting executives, speakers and wedding families who need space to prepare and to receive guests.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The executive chefs and the patisserie team create menus for each event and can serve them at the hotel or at an outside location, useful for an event held at a private residence or at an office. Dining venues on site include Jakarta and The Courtyard for Indonesian and Continental cooking throughout the day, The Majapahit Lounge, which combines a bar, tea lounge, library and caviar lounge, and The Cake Shop.
History and setting
The Dharmawangsa opened in the late 1990s in Kebayoran Baru, a leafy residential district of South Jakarta known for its embassies, residences and tree-lined streets. The hotel is a low-rise building set in gardens rather than a tower, and the garden lawn used for weddings is part of that layout. The lounges and the library give guests quiet places to meet away from the ballrooms.
Getting there
The hotel is at Jalan Brawijaya Raya No. 26, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta 12160. Soekarno-Hatta International Airport serves international guests. Travel time across Jakarta depends heavily on traffic, so transfers for delegates and wedding guests should be planned with the hotel in advance.
