The premises are quite modern and, of course, very new. Every item in the apartment is new so it’s nice to use their brand new things. All the staff were also very friendly and kind, making my stay comfortable!“ says Kuroda who hails from Japan.  Enjoying a quiet breakfast with the refreshing rays of the sun setting in is sure to get you ready for your day ahead Step into this brand new serviced residence and you will find that Citadines Quartier Jakarta reflects modernity with a tasteful touch of its colonial past. Whitewashed brick walls, colonial classroom setting in the meeting rooms and antique furniture in the lobby are reminiscent of its colonial ties. Its exterior, which has a stylised design based on the broad concept of a Dutch colonial house, also exudes its Dutch influence. After all, in the late 1500s, this city was once a spice trading spot for the Dutch and was known as Batavia till 1942. Green-MindedThe architecture at Citadines Quartier Jakarta integrates the best of modern conveniences and functionality with traditional Dutch colonial accents to create bold features and smooth soothing interiors. The design has helped to capture natural light in the main common areas like the lobby and breakfast room, creating a calming effect when you check into the serviced residence and when you enjoy your morning breakfast. “The use of architecture to get more light into the property and hence reduce the need for artificial lighting is environmentally-friendly. In fact, the property is always conscious of earth-saving measures we can take. For example, we use LED lights in the main lobby and have a water recycling system whereby waste water is recycled and used to water the gardens. We also try to encourage the guests staying with us to be green-minded. For instance during Earth Hour this month, we will turn off all unnecessary lighting and have a guest celebration event with a candle lit lobby,” reveals Kenneth Rogers, Country General Manager, Indonesia.
