FOUR SEASONS JAKARTA MAKES MY YEAR|||FOUR SEASONS JAKARTA MAKES MY YEAR||One of the pleasures of existing in this world is to enjoy the repetitive passage of the seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter – the classical four-fold division of the natural year – are rhythmic metaphors of the stages of human life: childhood, youth, adulthood and age.|| However, unlike humans, who live only once and are therefore linear beings, seasons attest to the cyclical promise of nature. A life or a generation can and does pass, governments fall and other governments rise, customs change and morals follow, but seasons are predictable companions. They exist and will continue to do so, unless climate change produces such extreme weather conditions that people shiver when it should be summer and long for an ice bath when it should be winter. Spring then will be a time to be old, and autumn a time for the young to regret that they were born at all. Short of that overturning of the natural cycle, seasons give us a sense of ourselves. Four seasons make my year. – and yours as well, I suspect.|| But my year is made as well by Four Seasons, the hotel chain known for its uniform standards of excellence throughout the varying months. Having stayed in Four Seasons hotel in Jakarta, I can attest to the way in which the chain combines spring, summer, autumn and winter into a single experience in the lives of its guests, day after predictable day. Right from the way in which guests are treated at Reception, to the unyielding detail with which services are provided to them in their rooms, and to the aromatic quality of the food in its restaurants, Four Seasons has become an international emblem of a home away from home. I have tasted the culinary seasons of the world in its hotels, especially Jakarta led by the ever capable Juergen (not Klopp from Liverpool), Vishal and their impeccable staff. They actually saved my life once, and through the highest service standards they have established, helped me close a few deals. Please retain these talents.|| I say all this to extol the virtues of globalisation. It has standardised levels of excellence around the world. It has made travel a seamless experience no matter in which part of the world a person finds himself or herself. It has brought the four seasons of the world together under a single name. Four Seasons is not just a hotel: It is a destination.|| Of course, the season that I prefer the most is the one that I spend at home, with myself and my family and my memories and theirs, but when I need to travel, I travel to the Four Seasons.|| It compasses the four moods of the...

Read moreLuxurious hotel. The health protocol is being implemented properly. I like the design of the entrance street, building and the lobby. The check in process was fast and friendly. They can provide me the room criteria that I want. The rooms are spacious and very luxurious, divided into 4 sections: living room, bed, bathroom and wardrobe. The city view from this room is very beautiful. In the living room there is a long sofa, study table, and my favorite is the TV with Bose home theater, love it bass is good. In the bedroom there is a large and comfortable bed, besides that there is also a TV in the bedroom. The spacious and luxurious bathroom has two sinks, separate toilet and shower, vanity and bathtub. In the wardrobe there is also a super large cupboard that can store many items. The facilities at this hotel are very complete, there is a chocolate shop, bar, luxurious library, ballroom, restaurant, gym, spa, swimming pool, and many more. The swimming pool at this hotel is beautiful, decorated with beautiful trees and have great views of the city. As soon as we entered we were immediately given towels and cold drinks. Pool attendants are also kind and friendly, I had a chance to chat for a while. Food at breakfast is served a la carte, we are given a menu with a wide selection of food to order as much as we like. Besides that, there is bread and fruit that we can take ourselves. All the food is delicious, especially the bread. I experienced a few problems when registering car parking ticket, the first time I registered a parking ticket, the ticket was invalid, so I had to be assisted by the parking staff. Not only that, in the early morning when going to enter the parking lot, an error appears the car is already inside. Even though my condition was very tired, I had to wait a few minutes until the concierge came to help me. I hope this problem can be fixed and won't happen again in the future. Apart from that, for the facilities, maybe hotel can add a whirlpool or hot water pool, and the amenities brands which can be made more luxurious and exclusive, because I only got the standard four seasons brand amenities. But overall my stay here was very pleasant. Thank you to all hotel staff, especially receptionists and pool staff, for making my stay here unforgettable. This hotel is highly...
