Marqen, Jakarta's First Lifestyle Luxury Hotel, Begins The First Chapter

Marqen, Jakarta's first lifestyle luxury hotel, officially begins its first chapter, welcoming its first guests to a new hospitality destination in the heart of West Jakarta.

Founded by Bill Susanto, Marqen was born from a lifelong passion for bringing people together through hospitality. Inspired by years of travelling, studying hospitality at Le Cordon Bleu London, and living in two of the world's great cultural melting pots, London and Los Angeles, Bill envisioned a hotel that reflects the architecture, culture, culinary traditions and spirit of the destinations that have left a lasting impression on him. Rather than recreating a single place, Marqen brings these influences together into a destination that is distinctly its own, while remaining deeply rooted in the warmth and authenticity of Indonesian hospitality.

Located in the heart of Puri Indah, one of Jakarta's fastest-growing commercial and lifestyle districts, Marqen marks a new chapter for hospitality in West Jakarta. As the area continues to evolve into a thriving hub for business, dining and contemporary living, it has yet to welcome a lifestyle luxury hotel. Marqen introduces a destination that reflects the way today's guests live, gather and travel.

Set within a five-hectare garden estate, Marqen features 166 rooms and suites, alongside signature dining destinations, wellness facilities and versatile event spaces. As the hotel enters its soft opening phase, guests are invited to experience the beginning of Marqen's story, with additional dining concepts, facilities and curated experiences to be introduced ahead of its official opening.

The Founder’s Vision

Marqen was born from a lifelong passion for bringing people together and creating meaningful experiences through hospitality. That passion led Bill Susanto to study hospitality at Le Cordon Bleu London, live in two of the world's great cultural melting pots, London and Los Angeles, and travel extensively, shaping his appreciation for destinations where design, dining, culture and community come together effortlessly. Inspired by these experiences, Marqen was created as Jakarta's first lifestyle luxury hotel, bringing together global influences while remaining deeply rooted in the warmth and authenticity of Indonesian hospitality.

"I've always believed that the best hospitality is measured not by how impressive a place looks, but by how it makes people feel. My hope is that every guest who walks through our doors feels genuinely welcomed, cared for and inspired to create memories that stay with them long after they leave," said Bill Susanto, Founder of Marqen.

A Home for Icons

The name Marqen is inspired by the belief that great hospitality leaves a lasting mark, not simply through beautiful spaces, but through the memories it creates and the way it makes people feel. Guided by the philosophy A Home for Icons, Marqen believes every guest deserves to feel welcomed, valued and celebrated. At Marqen, an Icon is not defined by fame or status, but by the unique story each guest brings. Behind every stay is a team of Hosts who embrace the role of Iconmakers, creating thoughtful moments that leave a lasting impression long after guests return home.

At the heart of Marqen is the belief that the future of lifestyle luxury lies not in chasing what is new, but in reinterpreting what has always mattered. Timeless design, genuine hospitality and enduring craftsmanship are thoughtfully reimagined for the way people live, gather and travel today. Inspired by the Italian philosophy of sprezzatura, every detail is carefully considered so each experience feels effortless, intuitive and genuine.

A Lifestyle Luxury Destination

Beyond its guestrooms, Marqen brings together a collection of dining, wellness and social experiences that reflect its interpretation of lifestyle luxury.

Cardo, Marqen's signature restaurant, presents Mediterranean and Spanish-inspired cuisine centred around the spirit of shared dining. During the soft opening phase, the restaurant serves as the hotel's breakfast venue before evolving into a signature dining destination, complemented by an outdoor asado experience.

The Living Room reimagines the traditional hotel lobby as an open and vibrant social space, where guests and locals naturally come together throughout the day. As evening approaches, The Terrace becomes home to Marqen's signature sunset ritual, pairing curated music, handcrafted cocktails and the changing light of dusk.

Beyond its dining destinations, Marqen offers a thoughtfully curated collection of wellness and lifestyle facilities, including an infinity pool, fitness centre, sauna, cold plunge, outdoor jogging and cycling track. Together, these spaces reflect the belief that contemporary luxury extends beyond accommodation into everyday living.

Designed for Life's Celebrations

At the heart of Marqen stands Le Château Marqen, Jakarta's first château-inspired standalone ballroom. Framed by landscaped gardens and tranquil reflecting ponds, it was conceived as a destination in its own right, where architecture, landscape and hospitality come together to elevate life's most meaningful celebrations.

Inspired by the enduring elegance of the French château and reinterpreted through Marqen's contemporary classic perspective, Le Château Marqen introduces a distinctive setting for weddings, social occasions and grand celebrations.

Complementing Le Château Marqen is a collection of heritage-inspired meeting rooms and event spaces, designed for private gatherings, executive meetings and celebrations of every scale, all reflecting Marqen's belief that exceptional moments deserve exceptional settings.
