Business event planners in search of a quiet sanctuary in the buzzing heart of Jakarta can now leverage a transformed outdoor garden at the luxurious Ayana Midplaza Jakarta hotel.
The refreshed garden directly adjoins both the main ballroom and the newly relaunched JimBARan Lounge, offering a versatile layout designed to elevate social functions integrated into corporate programmes.
Together, the ballroom and garden can comfortably host dining events for up to 1,300 guests. Creative food stations can be positioned across the open-air space to encourage attendees to step outside and network.
Morris Tiedemann, general manager of Ayana Midplaza Jakarta, highlighted how the space reflects the hotel’s core identity:
“In Sanskrit, the word ayana means a place of refuge. This is what Ayana Midplaza Jakarta wants to achieve – to bring our guests into a totally different world once they step through our doors. The new JimBARan is nicely designed, and boasts a brand new high-end menu that is built on Indonesian cuisine. The experience at JimBARan flows seamlessly with the refreshed gardens.”
Christian Hochtl, vice president of operations, emphasised that open-air green space remains a key competitive differentiator for urban venues:
“Guests want to see different sights when they are attending indoor meetings. Any hotel in the city that offers a lush outdoor garden has an advantage. At the end of indoor meetings, guests will open the door and go straight into a winter garden, complete with trees, water features, and shelter from the tropical weather.”
The property continues to position itself as a premier venue for high-profile business gatherings, particularly embassy-hosted functions. Backed by 21 versatile meeting rooms, the hotel provides planners with extensive flexibility for complex breakout programmes and large-scale corporate conferences.
