Oliver Keutzer, General Manager of The St. Regis Jakarta, shares: “The St. Regis Bar Jakarta has become the most sought-after But this experience goes beyond the glass. It is a meticulously curated cultural journey, celebrating Jakarta’s rich heritage and culinary craftsmanship. A private Membatik session at Iwan Tirta Home offers an intimate look into Indonesia’s centuries-old textile traditions, where each wax stroke tells a story of craftsmanship and legacy. A historical tour of MONAS (National Monument) traces the city’s evolution, from colonial past to vibrant metropolis.

The journey reaches new heights with Jakarta’s first-ever Omakase-style Cheese Dinner at Maisonette, an extraordinary collaboration between Indonesia’s culinary legend, William Wongso, and the visionary mixologists of The St. Regis Bar Jakarta. This is not just a pairing, but a seamless dialogue between cheese, cocktails, and craftsmanship, where each sip is designed to enhance and elevate the flavors of William Wongso’s curated menu and Mazaraat Artisan Cheese’s locally crafted selections. 

Each cocktail is meticulously crafted to complement the nuances of the cheese, creating an experience of harmony and contrast. A bold bourbon cocktail deepens the nutty richness of Ibra Cheese, while the luscious creaminess of Napa Butter finds a perfect match in the tropical sweetness of jackfruit syrup. The salty, seared halloumi is lifted by the bright tartness of tamarind and the cool freshness of mint, balanced beautifully by a delicate effervescence. A hint of kaffir syrup weaves in citrus aromatics, mirroring the cheese’s subtle tang and refining the pairing to perfection.

More than a dinner, this is a sensory journey led by the symphony of spirits, and the legacy of fine gastronomy, brought to life at The House of Astor in Jakarta.

As the night deepens, the finesse of cocktail-making takes center stage. The experience continues with exclusive bar takeovers, featuring esteemed guest bartenders from the region, offering a dynamic fusion of global mixology and local craftsmanship. At the helm of The St. Regis Bar Jakarta, Bar and Beverage Manager Paulo Naranjo orchestrates a sensory exploration of exquisite flavors, bold pairings, and avant-garde mixology, ensuring that each sip is nothing short of extraordinary.

With unrivaled luxury, impeccable service, and a passion for storytelling, The St. Regis Jakarta continues to set the standard as a premier hospitality landmark, a destination where art, culture, music, cocktails, and conversation converge in an unforgettable celebration of indulgence.
