Luxury St. Moritz Penthouse in Jakarta's Lippomall: Unbelievable Views!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Luxury St. Moritz Penthouse in Jakarta's Lippomall. And let me tell you, the views? Unbelievable is putting it mildly. This isn't your cookie-cutter hotel review. This is the real deal, warts and all, my unfiltered take on a Jakarta stay that promised the world and, surprisingly, mostly delivered.

First Impressions (and a Near-Disaster with the Doorman)

So, picture this: late afternoon, the Jakarta humidity is clinging to you like a second skin, and I’m dragging my suitcase, already regretting my life choices. I pull up to the St. Moritz, all gleaming glass and promise. The doorman… well, let's just say he seemed more interested in the shimmering reflection of the building than in actually helping me. Stood there like a bronze statue instead of doing his job. Eventually, after much flailing, and me nearly breaking an ankle on the curb, he finally roused himself. Not a great start, but let's be honest, it set the tone. This place is big, and sometimes, things happen.

Accessibility – A Mixed Bag, Frankly.

Okay, important stuff first. Accessibility at St. Moritz is… well, it's a work in progress. There are facilities for disabled guests and an elevator, which is a huge plus. But I didn’t see ramps everywhere, and maneuvering through the vast corridors could be a bit of a trek for someone with mobility issues. They could definitely improve here. And speaking of trekking, finding a way, even with the car park [on-site] and valet parking to the front door was its own adventure.

The Room: My Private Cloud Nine (and Then Some)

Now, this is where things got interesting. The penthouse suite itself? Holy mother. Views. Seriously. I spent a solid hour just parked by the window, jaw agape. Imagine a sprawling city vista, the skyscrapers piercing the sky, shimmering under a golden sunset. It was breathtaking. Absolutely. I found the blackout curtains to be a lifesaver. I was a bit off about the carpet and the extra long bed, it was so luxurious.

The room itself was packed. Air conditioning, obviously, thank goodness. A mini bar that could probably bankrupt a small country (but hey, the bottle of water was free!). A coffee/tea maker, which was essential for my survival. And the bathroom? Oh, the bathroom. A separate shower/bathtub, a bathtub, the slippers were super fluffy. The toiletries were fancy enough to feel like you're pampered. You could easily spend a few days just luxuriating here, and let's be honest, I did.

Oh, and the Internet access [wireless]. Free Wi-Fi [free], so if you're a digital nomad like me, it's a dream. The desk was actually usable, and I could get some work done while still feeling like I was on vacation.

Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Somewhat Secure

COVID is still a thing, right? They've got the whole shebang for safety. They have Daily disinfection in common areas, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Staff trained in safety protocol. They are super up on Anti-viral cleaning products. While I was there I saw them being meticulous. I felt relatively safe and I was thankful.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly)

Okay, food. This is where things get a little…complicated. There's a bunch of options. Restaurants, Coffee shop, Poolside bar, Snack bar, the whole shebang. But the quality? Eh, mixed.

Breakfast [buffet]: Standard hotel buffet fare. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, a mix of everything. The coffee was weak, but hey, that's hotel buffets for you. Plus there was breakfast takeaway service which was nice for those times when you just wanna sleep.
Restaurants: I tried the Asian cuisine in restaurant - pretty good. The International cuisine in restaurant was a bit hit or miss. Stick to what they do best, I'd say.
Room service [24-hour]: Handy, especially when you’re battling jet lag.

Things to Do (and Ways to Relax): Spa Day, Anyone?

Alright, let's talk about treating yourself:

Swimming Pool: The Swimming pool [outdoor] was stunning, with, you guessed it, more amazing views.
Spa: You can get a Massage, I didn't, but heard great things!
Gym/fitness: There is a Fitness center and a Sauna, which, after all that glorious food, was definitely needed.

Services and Conveniences: From Cash Withdrawals to Babysitters

They have a plethora of services on offer. Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage. They actually provide a lot.

For the Kids:

They do have babysitting if you need it.

Check-in/out [express] and Check-in/out [private]: The private was kinda nice, after the whole doorman debacle!

Getting Around:

They offer Airport transfer and Taxi service – both were blessedly efficient.

The Not-So-Good (Because Let's Be Real)

Service: The service, in general, ranged from excellent to… well, let's just say there's room for improvement. Some staff members were amazing, others seemed a bit… overwhelmed.
The Price Tag: This is a luxury hotel, and the prices reflect that. Be prepared to open your wallet.
The Noise: While the rooms are mostly soundproof, the city noise can sometimes seep in, especially if you're on a lower floor.
The little things: A few minor things were imperfect. A wobbly table in the room, a flickering light. These little things, though.

Overall Impression: Worth the Splurge?

Look, despite the minor imperfections, the Luxury St. Moritz Penthouse is a truly special place. The views alone are worth the price of admission. If you want to experience the best Jakarta has to offer, it is worthy of the trip. FINAL VERDICT: 4.5 out of 5 stars. Definitely worth a visit. Bring a fat wallet and your camera.

Okay, buckle up buttercups. This isn't your pristine, Pinterest-perfect itinerary. This is real life, Penthouse edition, Jakarta. Buckle up, because we’re about to get messy.

Day 1: ARRIVAL & The Great Penthouse Panic of '24

13:00 - Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Ugh, the airport. Always a circus. Praying to the travel gods my luggage doesn't decide to elope to Bali before I do. Feeling slightly nauseous from the pre-flight coffee and the inevitable guilt of leaving my cat, Mr. Whiskers, alone for 7 days. (He's probably judging me.)
14:30 - Private Transfer to St. Moritz (via ridiculously expensive, air-conditioned SUV). Traffic in Jakarta. It's a thing. I mentally prepare for the slow crawl, the honking, and the existential dread of "Am I actually doing this?"
16:00 - Check-in at St. Moritz and the Grand Reveal! Okay, deep breaths. We're talking Super Penthouse. Expectations are sky high. I'm mentally chanting, "Don't be overwhelmed. Don't be overwhelmed."
- 16:15 - The First Glare of Reality (and a Tiny Leak). The penthouse is… impressive. Seriously, ridiculously, obscenely impressive. But… is that a drip from the ceiling? Oh dear. That's a bad start. The sheer, overwhelming magnitude of this place is making my brain feel like scrambled eggs.
- 16:30 - The Great Tech Battle. Trying to figure out the lighting system. It's connected to some sort of AI overlord that hates me (or at least, seems to). I'm pretty sure a single wrong button press might summon a demon. After about 20 minutes, I managed to turn on a single lamp, and the relief was profound.
- 16:45 - The Infinity Pool Panic. The view is incredible. Seriously, breathtaking. But I suddenly realize I have no appropriate swimwear. Crap. All that beautiful water, and I'm left with a pair of jeans and a rapidly declining sense of self-worth.
18:00 - Dinner - Local Food Delivery (aka, "Surviving Jakarta's Culinary Maze"). Thanks to my total lack of swimwear and my overwhelming fear of leaving this apartment, I'm ordering in. Fingers crossed the delivery guy speaks enough English to understand "nasi goreng, extra sambal." Praying I don't get food poisoning. This is going to be a recurring theme, I fear.
20:00 - Rooftop Balcony Sunset & the "Jakarta Glow." Okay, finally calm. The city lights are beautiful. The air… is less beautiful, it's very humid. I'm pretty sure I can see Mount Krakatoa from here. Or maybe it's just an especially large cloud. Anyway, it's a moment. Brief, but a moment.
21:00 - Evening of YouTube tutorials and attempting to work the television. This TV set up is more complicated than my last relationship. I’m spending more time fighting with the remote than actually watching anything.

Day 2: Shopping Spree (or, “The Bikini Emergency”)

09:00 - Wake Up (and the lingering fear of the roof leak). Still a drip, but less pronounced. Maybe it's just condensation. Definitely ignoring it for now. First thought: "Bikini. Bikini. Bikini."
10:00 - Lippo Mall Puri Excursion: (The Bikini Quest Begins!). This is my mission. My only goal. Find a swimsuit that doesn't make me feel self-conscious. Praying I survive the mall experience. (Malls in Asia are… a thing).
- 10:30 - Mall Madness. Okay, it's crowded. The music is loud. There are so many people. I'm definitely overdressed. I wander around, feeling like a lost tourist on a mission impossible.
- 11:30 - The Fitting Room Fiasco. Attempting to try on swimwear is an extreme contact sport in itself, not just dealing with the wrong sized/style, but also the lack of ventilation and the extreme heat.
- 12:30 - Success! (Maybe). I found something. It's not the most flattering, but it covers the essentials. Victory!
13:00 - Lunch at a trendy, air-conditioned cafe. Gotta recover from the retail trauma. Trying to eat a salad and pretend like I'm not completely disoriented.
14:00 - Back to the Penthouse: The Pool Beckons! Time to embrace that infinity pool. I’m determined to enjoy it, even if I feel like a slightly awkward sea creature.
15:00 - Pool Time! (And the existential dread of being seen in a swimsuit). The water's lovely and the view is amazing. But I can't help but feel like everyone is staring at me. This is a serious psychological battle.
17:00 - Afternoon nap. After the stress of bikini shopping and poolside panic, a nap is essential.
19:00 - Dinner and a Movie (in the world's most luxurious home cinema). I spent an hour trying to figure out the sound system. Finally gave up and just used the built-in speakers. The movie? Something mindless. My brain needs a break.

Day 3: Cultural Immersion (Maybe?) & The Great Laundry Catastrophe

08:00 - Wake Up (The drip is still there, isn't it?).
09:00 - Attempting to embrace ‘Culture.’ I've planned a visit to a temple or a museum, but my overwhelming desire to stay in the penthouse is strong. Will I actually leave? The question hangs in the air.
10:00 - The Plan: I decide to actually go out and embrace it. I’m determined to do something, even if it’s just wandering aimlessly.
11:00 - The Laundry Catastrophe. Decided to use the in-house laundry service. Turns out, they have a very minimalist approach to laundry detergent. Everything came back smelling faintly of… nothing. My clothes are clean, but somehow less clean.
12:00 - Lunch in the city. I actually manage to get out of the penthouse. I’m a free person for once. It’s great.
14:00 - A small hike in the park. Going to a park should be a great idea. It's not.
16:00 - Back to the Penthouse: Exhausted but Happy. Nothing beats the comfort of a cozy space.
19:00 - Dinner at the penthouse. Getting the delivery again. I’m starting to feel a little sick, but still enjoy it.
20:00 - Watching Netflix, with the lights dim.*

Day 4: A Messier Mix

9:00 - The Great Leak Reveal (and the call to maintenance). Yes, it’s getting worse. Finally notify maintenance. The drama begins.
10:00 - The Shopping Mall. Back to the retail therapy to try and cheer me up.
13:00 - Back to the Penthouse for a swim. The pool is still good.
16:00 - The Great Maintenance Showdown Begins. The drama begins. Numerous people come to try and fix the problem. It's an entire, messy, noisy situation.
19:00 - Ordering food. You know the drill.
20:00 - Movie night.

Day 5: More Chaos

9:00 - The Leak is still there. The maintenance is still there.
10:00 - I decide to explore Jakarta. Taking the risk. Wish me luck.
13:00 - Lunch Somewhere.
15:00 - Back to the penthouse.
16:00 - Still dealing with the maintenance people. It can't be over soon.
19:00 - Dinner and a movie.
20:00 - Netflix and chill.

Day 6: The Calm Before the Storm

9:00 - The constant drip is still there. The maintenance is mostly gone.
10:00 - Last chance for souvenir shopping.
13:00 - Lunch.
15:00 - Back to the Penthouse.
16:00 - I’m taking a nap.
19:00 - Dinner.
20:00 - Going to the spa.

Luxury St. Moritz Penthouse in Jakarta: FAQs (and a Few Rants!)

So, what is this St. Moritz Penthouse, anyway? Sounds fancy!

Okay, so imagine a ridiculously tall building, and then imagine the *top* of that ridiculously tall building. That's probably where the St. Moritz Penthouse is. It's in Jakarta's Lippomall, which is already a rabbit warren of shops and restaurants. Think "expensive apartment with a view." Honestly, the view *is* what sells it. We'll get to that, though. Basically, it's a high-roller's pad, for sure. I peeked inside once (don’t ask how... let's just say I have friendly contacts in the cleaning sector) and... yeah, it's definitely a whole different level than my… well, let's just say "cozy" apartment.

How much does living there actually cost? Prepare for sticker shock!

Alright, buckle up. We're talking seriously *serious* money. I heard the maintenance fees alone are more than my entire monthly salary... and I work *hard*. We’re talking millions of rupiah, monthly! And that's just *maintenance*. Add in the actual purchase price or rental... well, let's just say you'll need a trust fund the size of a small island nation to even *consider* it. Frankly, I'm pretty sure I'd faint.

Is the view really as amazing as they say? I mean, it is Jakarta...

Okay, listen. The view... it's borderline *illegal*. Seriously. You're up so high, you feel like you're hovering. I saw it once. Just once. Briefly. Through a window. (Don't ask.) And it was… breathtaking. You can see *everything*. The sprawling city, the traffic (which, admittedly, maybe you'd rather not see), the hazy sunsets... It's legitimately awe-inspiring. I think I literally gasped. My jaw hit the floor. It's that good. Honestly, it's probably the only reason to consider living there. Jakarta's not known for its air quality, but from up there? Pure filtered bliss. You almost *forget* the chaos down below. Almost.

What do you actually see from the penthouse? (Besides "a lot"!)

Okay, practicalities! During the day? The entire Bukit Golf International. Imagine endless green swaths, like a giant, manicured carpet. Plus, you can see the distant mountains, which are… pretty sweet, actually. At night? Millions of twinkling lights. Like a giant, glittering, messy (but beautiful) map of Jakarta. And the fireworks displays? Forget about it! You're basically in your own private viewing gallery. Now, if only I could afford… Oh, right.

What kind of "stuff" comes with the penthouse? I'm talking pools, gyms... the works!

Oh, you know. The usual. Which, for *them*, is *not* the usual for us mere mortals. Swimming pools, of course. Probably several, actually. Maybe even a private one on your balcony. (I wouldn't know, personally. I haven’t seen a balcony like that since… actually, I can’t recall ever seeing a balcony like that!) Gyms? Multiple, fully equipped, probably with personal trainers on hand 24/7. There’s bound to be a spa. A fancy restaurant. Valet parking, of course. And, let's not forget, a *doorman* who probably judges you based on the brand of your car. (I'd be terrified.)

Is there a shopping mall right there? Seems convenient!

Oh, yeah. Remember I said it was in Lippomall? You're basically *living* above a shopping mall. So, yes. Extremely convenient. Need a designer handbag at 3 AM? No problem! Just hop on the elevator. (I mean, *I* wouldn't know what I’d do with a designer handbag at 3 AM, but, you know… options.) The downside? The constant hum of consumerism. Plus, the sheer *temptation*! I'd probably spend all my (non-existent) money on things I don't need.

What's the catch? There has to be a catch, right?

The catch? Besides the obvious (cost) it's the isolation, perhaps. You're removed from the "real" Jakarta, which is this vibrant, messy, sometimes frustrating, but always *alive* place. You're in a bubble. A beautiful, luxurious, high-altitude bubble. You might miss the street food (though, hey, maybe the penthouse comes with a private chef who can make *amazing* chicken satay?) The traffic to *get* to anywhere from there must be terrible, even in your fancy car. And then, the pressure of keeping up with the Joneses (or the Tjitradjas, or whoever the heck lives there). The lifestyle might be exhausting.

Would you live there? Be honest!

Okay, if someone *gave* it to me? Absolutely. Without a doubt. I’d be a liar to say otherwise. I mean, the view alone… But *buying* it? No. Nope. Not in a million years. I'd rather live in a slightly more modest place, keep my sanity, and not worry about how many millions I’m spending on electricity. Plus, I’d feel perpetually out of place. I'm too… *me* for that level of luxury. I’d probably wear pajamas all day, every day, and raid the fridge at 3 AM. And the doorman would *definitely* judge me. Bottom line: The view? Stunning. The lifestyle? Probably not for me. But hey, a girl can dream, right? (Especially when the dream involves a helicopter to avoid traffic!)

Okay, one more shot: Any weird or unexpected things about the penthouse life?

Okay, this is where it gets *really* weird. The cleaning lady I mentioned? She told me that sometimes, at night, you can hear… silence. Unbelievable, right? In Jakarta! Apparently, the soundproofing is *that* goodPremium Stay Search
