Raffles Jakarta
Jakarta, Indonesia · Raffles · Grand Luxury
Opened in March 2015 as part of the Ciputra World 1 superblock, Jakarta's 11th-tallest building at 253 metres, Raffles Jakarta was founded as a living tribute to Hendra Gunawan, Indonesia's most celebrated realist painter, whose works fill the interiors. The hotel's founding patron, developer Dr Ciputra, built it to fulfill a personal promise to the artist to open a museum in his name.
- 173 rooms
- Opened 2015
- Neighborhood: Ciputra World 1 / Setiabudi
About Raffles Jakarta
- Raffles Jakarta was created specifically to honour painter Hendra Gunawan (1918 to 1983): developer Dr Ciputra promised the artist a museum, and the hotel's design, from lobby ceiling to restaurant carpet, is structured around Gunawan's canvases.
- At 253 metres across 52 floors, the building was Jakarta's second-tallest at opening in 2015 (after Wisma 46); it is now the city's 11th tallest.
- The Writers Bar, a Raffles trademark, is reimagined here as a tribute to Indonesian art and literature, with a ceiling of cascading crystals and a carpet of Hendra-inspired swimming fish.
- The hotel sits adjacent to Ciputra Artpreneur, a performing-arts theatre and contemporary art gallery, with which it shares a single integrated development.
History
Raffles Jakarta opened in 2015 as part of the Ciputra World 1 landmark development in Jakarta's commercial district, rising 52 storeys and 253 metres as one of the city's tallest buildings. The official brand site presents it as an art-filled urban retreat that blends Indonesian aesthetics, modern technology, and strong local artistic influence, especially through Hendra Gunawan. The hotel is positioned as a contemporary Raffles property with signature butler service and a major spa-and-dining offer. I could verify the opening year and positioning from the brand site, but not a reliable architect credit from the accessible sources.
The setting
Raffles Jakarta rises 52 storeys at Ciputra World 1 on Jalan Prof. Dr. Satrio Kav. 3–5 in Setiabudi, at the convergence of the Golden Triangle's three corridors — Sudirman, Kuningan, and Thamrin. Opened in 2015, the hotel connects directly to the Ciputra Artpreneur complex — a major theatre and contemporary art gallery — and to Lotte Shopping Avenue, placing culture and luxury retail immediately at hand. The Mega Kuningan embassy precinct lies under a kilometre away, and the National Museum of Indonesia is roughly 41 minutes by transit. Soaring tower architecture, integrated cultural programming, and access to Jakarta's most dynamic business corridors make Raffles the most artistically distinguished luxury address in the Golden Triangle. 6 km from Central Jakarta.
