Hotel Overview Superlatives come easy for the The Sultan Jakarta (formerly Jakarta Hilton) - the Grand Dame of luxury hotels in Jakarta. Since it first opened in 1972, the hotel's size, coupled with its enviable location and range of facilities and services has made it one of Jakarta's favourite business hotels. Set on some 20 hectares (35 acres) of lushly landscaped tropical gardens at Semanggi interchange - where Jl. Gatot Subroto intersects with Jl. Sudirman, the Jakarta Hilton is perhaps the best located hotel in the city. As well just behind the hotel is the Jakarta's premier meeting venue, the Jakarta Convention Centre - giving convention and meeting planners unparalleled flexibility and facilities. For business travelers who will be in Jakarta for more than a few weeks, Hilton Residence is also just behind the hotel, long recognised as the preferred address in Jakarta.
