Nice pic alvin, i guess its closer for soft-opening. I always wondered though if Manhattan hotel is a local or overseas brand. but its actually local brand.

Wow...i wouldnt have guessed it. from the name "Hotel Manhattan" i would presume it comes from the US. :P

I agree that it's a nice piece of architecture, especially the top. The rest of the building seems average i think.

I think it's calle either Wisma or Menara Staco, a mid-rise Office Bldg, designed by Jkt-based Hadiprana Architectural Firm, and it has an interesting glass facade that kinda floats on the outer surface of the bldg.

I agree. Actually that forgotten little block has two interesting architectural gems: A very fancy Mercedes showroom and Graha Paramita building. Most people don't even notice them, because they're set too far back from Jl Dr Satrio, behind Malaysian Embassy.

Does anybody know what they're going to build on the empty land between Ambassador Mall and this new hotel??

somehow it looks very elegant but the top little bit ruins it
On the contrary, the building's facade is undeservingly plain (if not ugly), but the top seems to lift the appearance up a little bit by having irregular patterns of protruding box-like features, making it feels edgier and modernly slick. This building is not supposed to be seen from the street level, but rather from the eyes of the people working on higher levels of the neighboring buildings and also from very afar.

This is just my two-cents for a building I highly think of as lacking in style and having a tight-budget... :sleepy:

it seems to me that the facade you're saying is another building. ??

havoxx
November 7th, 2005, 10:08 AM
No, I was commenting on the facade of the Hotel Manhattan...
I just don't find it as attractive and appealing as most people do...A grey, dull concrete slabs on four sides with a hint of blue-colored glass here and there = a giant LEGO construction

the protuding thing on Manhattan hotel could be a perfect spot for bungy jumping, i've been thinking about this since i saw the rendering. Seriously.
I agree the design is so-so however apart from Mega Kuningan complex, Jl Rasuna Said needs high-rise towers/buildings. Now it's dominated by short ones. And Manhattan can be the first to fill-in this gap.

As usually it is not allowed to take a picture of interior design of a hotel/building.

Great .. nice pictures.
what is the hotel rating ? 4 star ?

There is one thing i want to make sure though.
see the previous postings ... seems like the hotel is leaning a bit.
Can you confirm on this ?
he he he thanks.

Welcome again to the club ...
first posting huh ? :D

Keep them coming

thanks for the positive feedback everyone :) we haven't set a standard price for roomnights yet as this future hotel is still under construction. But we're trying to get it done as soon as possible, possibly by the end of the due date. Hopefully we will finish the project by the end of February or March. I'm glad to hear that most people seem to like the look of our interior :) please if anyone feel the need to make some comments or advices, do so. It would be great to hear from all of you.
