South Jakarta: Hip cosmopolitan living

Of the five cities that make up Jakarta, South Jakarta is the largest and includes some of the most affluent and hippest parts of the city. In turn, South Jakarta is divided into ten districts and a number of administrative villages. Ones worth noting include:

• Kebayoran Baru is home to the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Jakarta International School along with some of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of Indonesia. Moreover, the district is also includes an area where a number of Korean expatriates have established their offices and business.
• Bangka (or known locally as Kemang) is well known for its upscale shops, art galleries, bookshops, restaurants serving a diverse range of cuisine and entertainment venues such as bars and clubs. This area is where many of the city’s expatriates call home.
• Tebet owes its claim to fame as the one time home to US President Barak Obama.

For business travelers or expatriates who need either short (minimum of one night) or long-term accommodations, the Kemang Icon by Alila is located in the heart of Kemang and offers one-bedroom units with a living room, bedroom, ensuite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and kitchenettes framed by floor to ceiling windows with panoramic views. In addition, for business travelers or expatriates who will be needing office space, the Marquee Executive Offices in Talavera Office Park offers serviced offices, virtual offices and video conferencing and conference facilities for up to 50 people.

Thus, South Jakarta offers the business traveler or expatriate everything one could possibly need in a place to work or call home.
