ARTOTEL Gelora Senayan Jakarta
Senayan base with a pool deck and a proper gym
About this hotel
ARTOTEL Gelora Senayan sits inside the wider Senayan sports complex that wraps around Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, so the walk out to matchday crowds starts almost at the lobby door. FX Sudirman, the mall that anchors this end of Senayan with its food courts and bars, is a six minute walk away, useful for a pre-match meal or a screen showing the early kickoff if you are not headed straight to the ground. The hotel leans business-hotel comfortable rather than boutique: warm rooms, a rooftop-style outdoor pool, a gym for shaking off a long flight, and a spa if the trip either side of the match runs long. Free parking matters on a fixture weekend when street spots near the stadium disappear fast. Airport transfers to Soekarno-Hatta run around half an hour by taxi, workable for a same-day arrival before an evening kickoff.

Our take
This suits fans and families who want Senayan's stadium-district location without sacrificing hotel comforts: a real pool, a working gym, and breakfast that runs early enough for a morning training-ground visit or a lunchtime kickoff. Groundhoppers checking in for one night will find it more comfortable than the budget options nearby. Anyone wanting nightlife right outside the door should look toward FX Sudirman itself rather than the hotel bar.
- Book the pool-facing rooms if you want a swim before an evening kickoff, they sell out first on derby weekends.
- Walk to FX Sudirman for a pre-match meal, it is about six minutes and has more food options than the hotel restaurant.
- Reserve parking ahead for a big fixture, the free lot fills up once nearby street parking around the stadium is gone.
Why we love it
- Inside the Senayan stadium district itself
- Outdoor pool and full gym on site
- Six minute walk to FX Sudirman mall
- Free parking for matchday drivers
Why guests love itWe stayed here with our two kids for a weekend trip built around a match at Gelora Bung Karno, and the pool ended up being the real hero of the visit, letting the children burn off energy between the stadium and the hotel. Breakfast opened early enough for our morning walk over to FX Sudirman before the afternoon kickoff. Rooms felt more like a proper business hotel than a matchday special, which was a nice surprise given the location, and the front desk had clearly hosted travelling families before.
