Renting at Kempinski Private Residence is not simply a decision about choosing a premium apartment.
It is a decision about how you want to experience Central Jakarta.
The residence places you at Bundaran HI, within the Grand Indonesia integrated development and close to the Thamrin–Sudirman business corridor. Shopping, dining, banking, entertainment, daily services, and public transport can all be reached without planning a separate journey across the city.
For executives and expatriates with demanding schedules, that convenience can be meaningful.
However, choosing the building is only the first step.
Kempinski rental units are privately owned, which means the furnishings, maintenance history, view, appliances, storage, parking allocation, landlord responsiveness, and lease terms can vary from one apartment to another.
Two units with the same number of bedrooms may offer very different experiences.
The right rental decision therefore depends on more than the address. Tenants need to compare the actual unit, the complete lease package, and how well the property supports their daily routine.
Is Kempinski Private Residence a Good Place to Rent?
Who it may suit? Kempinski Private Residence may suit executives, couples, small families, corporate tenants, and long-term expatriates whose work and daily routine are centred around Central Jakarta.
The main trade-offs are active city-centre surroundings, individually owned units with different furnishing and maintenance standards, and lease terms that must be checked unit by unit.
- A highly central Jakarta location
- Direct access to Grand Indonesia
- Proximity to the Bundaran HI MRT station
- Larger layouts than many newer city apartments
- Managed residential facilities
- Furnished executive units
- Easier access to offices along Thamrin and Sudirman
What Is Kempinski Private Residence?
Kempinski Private Residence is located at Jalan M.H. Thamrin No. 1, Central Jakarta, within the wider Grand Indonesia development.
The official Kempinski Private Residences page states that the residence has 262 units across 59 floors, with residences from approximately 123 to 750 square metres and three penthouses with private swimming pools. The page records all units as sold as of 30 June 2025 and notes that selected privately owned units may be available for sublease.
The development includes a broad range of layouts, from executive two-bedroom apartments to significantly larger family residences and penthouses.
The Noble Properties Asia Kempinski building guide provides practical layout groupings for comparison, but the exact configuration must be checked against the individual unit.
- Two-bedroom residences of approximately 123 to 157 square metres
- Larger two-bedroom residences of approximately 225 square metres
- Family layouts of approximately 252 to 276 square metres
- Penthouses reaching approximately 750 square metres
The exact bedroom configuration, bathroom count, staff area, storage, lift access, furnishing standard, and parking allocation still need to be confirmed for each unit.
Why the Location Appeals to Central Jakarta Tenants
The practical advantage of Kempinski is the ability to keep more of daily life within the same area.
The residence forms part of the Grand Indonesia integrated development. Grand Indonesia’s current services and facilities directory lists banking and ATM services, concierge, a health clinic, nursery rooms, parking, prayer rooms, taxi stands, accessible toilets, valet parking, EV charging, wheelchairs, and baby strollers. These are mall facilities; their hours and access conditions may differ from residential services.
This can make routine activities easier to manage:
- Grocery and household shopping
- Coffee meetings
- Restaurants
- Banking
- Entertainment
- Last-minute purchases
- Visitor arrangements
- Basic daily services
The residence is also near the Bundaran HI MRT station. MRT Jakarta’s operating Phase 1 line connects Bundaran HI with the Sudirman corridor and South Jakarta, including stations such as Dukuh Atas, Setiabudi, Bendungan Hilir, Istora, Senayan, Blok M, Cipete, Fatmawati, and Lebak Bulus.
That gives residents another transport option beyond private cars, drivers, and ride-hailing.
However, “central” does not mean every journey will be short. A commute still depends on the exact office entrance, meeting schedule, school destination, departure time, and road conditions.
Test the route at the time you will actually travel.
What Daily Life at Kempinski Feels Like
Kempinski offers a distinctly urban lifestyle.
Residents can move between a private high-rise home and a major retail, dining, hotel, office, and transport environment without travelling far. This may be particularly useful for people with irregular working hours, frequent business meetings, or limited time for household errands.
It may also make the first months in Jakarta easier for newly arrived expatriates. The address is widely recognised, visitor directions are straightforward, and many daily needs can be handled nearby.
The trade-off is that Bundaran HI remains an active city-centre district.
Residents who prefer quiet residential streets, gardens, independent cafés, and a more neighbourhood-oriented atmosphere may feel more comfortable in areas such as Pondok Indah, Dharmawangsa, Cilandak, or parts of Kebayoran Baru.
Kempinski provides city-centre convenience. It does not recreate suburban family living.
Which Apartment Size Is Likely to Suit You?
Bedroom count is useful, but it does not explain the whole layout.
A two-bedroom apartment may suit one executive, a couple, a small family, or someone who needs a separate home office. A large two-bedroom residence may offer more useful living space than a compact three-bedroom apartment in another development.
The right choice depends on how the rooms will be used.
Two-Bedroom Units Around 123 to 126 Square Metres
These are among the more compact Kempinski layouts.
They may suit:
- Individual executives
- Couples
- Small families
- Residents needing a guest room
- Professionals needing a separate study
- Corporate leases for one assignee or a couple
At this size, inspect the second bedroom carefully. Confirm whether it is large enough for the intended use and whether the wardrobes, bathrooms, kitchen, and service areas support long-term living.
A two-bedroom label does not always mean both bedrooms work equally well.
Two-Bedroom Units Around 153 to 157 Square Metres
These units may provide more generous living areas, bedroom proportions, or storage than the smaller two-bedroom layouts.
They can suit tenants who want:
- More space for entertaining
- Better separation between rooms
- A comfortable home office
- Additional storage
- A more substantial long-term home
A larger floor area should still be assessed based on how efficiently it is used.
Long corridors, oversized entrances, or awkward service areas may reduce the amount of space that supports everyday life.
Large Two-Bedroom Units Around 225 Square Metres
A 225-square-metre two-bedroom residence may appeal to executives or couples who prioritise generous living space over additional bedrooms.
This format can support:
- Formal and informal living
- Entertaining
- A substantial home office
- Guest accommodation
- More storage
- Better separation between private and social areas
These apartments may feel closer to a house in scale while retaining managed-building security and facilities.
Three-Bedroom Units Around 225 to 261 Square Metres
Three-bedroom residences are generally more relevant for:
- Families
- Senior executives relocating with children
- Households needing a guest room and study
- Corporate leases with larger housing requirements
- Residents who entertain regularly
For family use, look beyond the floor area.
Check the privacy of each bedroom, bathroom access, children’s storage, kitchen practicality, service circulation, laundry arrangements, and the journey to school.
A large apartment can still feel inconvenient when the daily routine has not been considered.
Current Kempinski Rental Examples From Noble Properties Asia
The public Noble Properties Asia website was checked on 29 July 2026. The following pages were labelled for rent at the time of review. Public page status is not a guarantee of availability: each unit, asking rent, furnishing inventory, parking allocation, lease duration, payment schedule, and move-in date must be reconfirmed with the responsible listing PIC before publication or viewing.
| Layout | Public Noble listing | Status checked | What still needs confirmation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2BR ≈157 m² | Grand-Scale Apartment | For Rent 29 Jul 2026 | Asking rent, inventory, parking, payment schedule, minimum term, availability |
| 2BR ≈127 m² | Prestigious Living | For Rent 29 Jul 2026 | Exact layout, bathroom count, furnishing, condition, parking, commercial terms |
| 2BR ≈153 m² | Strategic Location 2BR | For Rent 29 Jul 2026 | View, furnishing, move-in date, owner terms, service-charge treatment |
For three-bedroom or larger requirements, request a dated shortlist. Archived pages marked rented or for sale should not be presented as current rental availability.
How to Use a Rented Listing as a Price Reference
A page marked rented can help illustrate a previous unit type, furnishing standard, or asking position. It does not prove the final rent agreed between the owner and tenant.
The earlier IDR 52.5 million example has therefore been removed from this guide because the underlying public listing and its complete dated terms could not be confirmed during this review. Even when a historical asking price is available, it should be labelled as an advertised asking price at that date—not a transaction, current market rate, or guarantee of what another unit will achieve.
For a useful comparison, review currently available units with similar size and condition, then compare the complete package: rent, service charges, deposit, utilities, parking, repairs, furnishing, payment timing, lease length, and move-in readiness.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent at Kempinski Residence?
There is no single rental rate for the whole building.
Each property is privately owned, and the asking rent can vary according to:
- Floor area
- Layout
- Floor and view
- Furniture
- Interior condition
- Renovation quality
- Private or semi-private lift access
- Parking
- Lease duration
- Payment schedule
- Owner expectations
- Current availability
Noble Asia’s current building guide recommends benchmarking against live availability because Kempinski units are highly differentiated.
When comparing rent, consider the total value of the package.
The Noble Properties Asia Kempinski guide recommends comparing live availability because privately owned units can differ materially.
Compare the home you will receive, not only the number shown in the advertisement.
Furnished Does Not Always Mean Move-In Ready
Many Kempinski rental units are marketed as furnished, but the meaning of “fully furnished” varies.
One unit may include a complete kitchen, well-maintained appliances, good mattresses, curtains, washing facilities, practical lighting, and furniture suitable for daily use.
Another may technically contain furniture but still need:
- Mattress replacement
- Kitchen equipment
- A work desk
- Better storage
- Curtain repairs
- Appliance servicing
- Deep cleaning
- Air-conditioning maintenance
- New lighting
Noble Asia advises tenants to confirm the complete inventory and handover condition because furnishings differ by owner.
During the viewing, test:
Confirm the complete inventory and handover condition for the specific unit. The word “furnished” does not define quality, completeness, maintenance condition, or replacement responsibilities.
Sit on the furniture. Open the drawers. Test the equipment.
The apartment needs to work as a home, not only as a listing photograph.
What Facilities Are Officially Listed?
The official Kempinski Private Residences page currently lists the following residential amenities and services:
- Private spa
- Swimming pool
- Fitness centre
- Landscaped gardens
- Meeting rooms
- Children’s playground
- 24-hour front office and concierge
- Engineering support
- Security
This published list confirms the facilities described by the development. It does not confirm every detail of tenant access, guest permissions, reservation procedures, temporary closures, extra charges, or whether a hotel service is included in a residential lease.
Before signing, ask residential management to confirm:
- Which facilities are available to registered tenants
- Registration or access-card requirements
- Guest rules and reservation procedures
- Operating hours and temporary closures
- Additional fees, if any
- Which services belong to the residence and which are separately charged hotel services
Direct Access to Grand Indonesia
The integrated location is one of Kempinski’s clearest practical advantages.
The residence is officially part of the Grand Indonesia integrated development. Inspect the actual resident route during the viewing and confirm access-card requirements, operating hours, after-hours arrangements, and guest access with residential management.
For tenants, direct access may make rainy days, busy working weeks, and last-minute errands easier.
However, inspect the actual resident route.
Confirm:
- Where the access point is
- Whether an access card is required
- The operating hours
- What happens after the mall closes
- Whether guests can use the same route
- How long it takes from the unit to the mall
“Direct access” is useful, but the real experience should be tested rather than assumed.
Parking, Pick-Up, and Driver Arrangements
Vehicle logistics still matter, even at a central address.
Before signing, confirm:
- Number of parking spaces
- Whether the space is fixed
- Availability of an additional space
- Visitor parking
- Driver waiting arrangements
- Ride-hailing pick-up point
- Delivery procedures
- Access-card allocation
- Replacement-card fees
- Service-lift use during move-in
Families and residents with household staff should also inspect the route from the parking area to the apartment.
A practical journey between the car, lift, and unit can affect everyday convenience more than a lobby photograph suggests.
Is Kempinski Suitable for Families?
Kempinski can work for families who want generous apartment space, managed security, children’s facilities, and a central location.
The official residence facilities include a dedicated children’s playground.
However, the decision should begin with the school route.
Many international schools are located in South Jakarta or other parts of Greater Jakarta. A convenient office commute may therefore come with a demanding morning journey for children.
Families should test:
- School travel time
- Morning traffic
- Bedroom sizes
- Children’s storage
- Staff accommodation
- Kitchen and laundry setup
- Noise
- Outdoor expectations
- Weekend routines
- After-school activities
Kempinski may suit a family whose life is centred in Central Jakarta and who prefers managed apartment living.
A household prioritising a garden, a quieter neighbourhood, or proximity to a South Jakarta school may be better served elsewhere.
Is Kempinski Suitable for Corporate Leases?
Kempinski is relevant for executive and corporate housing because of its location, larger furnished layouts, resident services, and proximity to the Thamrin–Sudirman business corridor.
Noble Properties Asia can coordinate a corporate home search and communicate with the owner or listing representative. The final contracting structure, invoicing, tax treatment, payment terms, early-termination rights, and document review must be confirmed for the specific lease and, where appropriate, by the company’s legal or tax adviser.
A corporate lease should clarify:
- Contracting entity
- Invoice requirements
- Taxes
- Payment currency
- Payment schedule
- Security deposit
- Early termination
- Renewal
- Repair response times
- Furniture inventory
- Move-in standard
- Move-out obligations
- Building registration
- Replacement responsibilities
The apartment should also match the assignee’s real needs rather than simply fit the maximum housing allowance.
Lease Terms Tenants Should Review
There is no universal Kempinski rental package. Minimum term, payment frequency, deposit, service charges, parking, utilities, repair responsibilities, and renewal provisions can differ by owner and unit. The signed lease and attachments—not a portal description—should control the agreement.
Rent and payment schedule
Confirm the amount, currency, due dates, minimum term, and whether the agreed payment is monthly, quarterly, annually in advance, or structured another way. Do not assume that the payment schedule from one listing applies to another unit.
Security deposit
Record the amount, permitted deductions, return process, expected timing, move-out condition, and how disagreements will be handled.
Service charges and building fees
State clearly whether service charges, sinking-fund contributions, parking fees, access-card fees, and other building charges are paid by the owner or tenant.
Utilities and subscriptions
Clarify responsibility for electricity, water, internet, television services, parking, and other subscriptions, including account setup and final settlement.
Repairs and maintenance
Separate routine tenant care from owner responsibilities, pre-existing defects, age-related failure, appliance replacement, and building-system issues. Record response times for urgent repairs where relevant.
Inventory and handover condition
Attach a detailed furniture, appliance, key, access-card, and parking-card inventory supported by dated photographs or video. Record outstanding repairs and completion dates.
Early termination and renewal
Review notice, penalties, deposit treatment, replacement-tenant provisions, assignment-related clauses, renewal timing, and how any rent adjustment will be discussed.
Move-out requirements
Clarify cleaning, repainting, damage, reinstatement, inventory condition, final inspection, utilities, and the process for resolving outstanding items.
For a high-value, corporate, diplomatic, or legally complex lease, obtain appropriate independent legal, tax, or immigration-related review before signing.
Confirm the Pet Policy in Writing
No current official public pet policy for Kempinski Private Residences was located during this review. Hotel pet guidance, short-stay listings, agent descriptions, and an individual owner’s preference do not establish the residential policy.
When a pet is essential to the tenancy, obtain written confirmation from both residential management and the individual owner before paying a holding deposit or signing the lease.
Ask the written confirmation to address:
- Whether the specific animal is permitted
- Any size, number, or breed restrictions
- Lift and common-area rules
- Cleaning, noise, and damage responsibilities
- Any additional deposit or fee
- Owner approval and building registration
- Consequences if the policy is breached

Internet and mobile signal
Check your phone signal and confirm which internet providers serve the unit.
Furniture
Test the sofa, chairs, beds, drawers, and major appliances. Do not assume that visible furniture is comfortable or in good condition.
Parking and lift access
Walk the route between the parking space and the unit. Confirm whether the lift is private, semi-private, or shared for that specific apartment.
Document the Move-In Condition
A detailed handover record protects both tenant and owner.
Document:
- Existing scratches
- Stains
- Wall and floor marks
- Furniture condition
- Appliances
- Air-conditioning
- Water pressure
- Curtains
- Keys
- Access cards
- Parking cards
- Meter readings
- Pending repairs
Use photographs and video, then attach the record to the signed handover document.
Any repair promised during negotiation should include:
- The exact work
- Responsible party
- Completion date
- Acceptance standard
Move-in inspection, handover coordination, utility support, and later tenancy assistance may be available through Noble Properties Asia or Relo Service Indonesia according to the agreed service scope. Confirm the deliverables, responsible PIC, exclusions, and aftercare route before appointment.
Who Is Kempinski Best Suited For?
Kempinski may be a strong fit when:
- Your office is around Thamrin or Sudirman
- You value direct mall access
- You prefer a managed apartment
- You need a generous two- or three-bedroom layout
- You want MRT access nearby
- You are comfortable with high-rise CBD living
- You need furnished executive accommodation
- You value centrality more than neighbourhood quiet
- Your budget supports a premium Central Jakarta rental
It may be less suitable when:
- Your daily school journey is far south
- You want a private garden
- You prefer a quieter residential environment
- You need a lower rental budget
- You want a largely unfurnished home
- You require several parking spaces
- Your pet cannot be approved in writing
- You dislike living within a major commercial district
A good shortlist should include the trade-offs, not only the advantages.
How Noble Properties Asia Helps Tenants Compare Units
At Kempinski, the practical decision is not simply whether the building is attractive. It is whether the specific unit, owner terms, and daily routine form the right package.
Depending on the agreed assignment, Noble Properties Asia can support:
- Checking public and internal availability before a shortlist is shared
- Curating relevant units around layout, budget, move-in date, furnishing, pets, parking, and commute
- Coordinating viewings and preparing unit-specific questions
- Comparing condition, inventory, asking terms, and known trade-offs
- Communicating with owners or authorised listing representatives
- Supporting commercial negotiation within the client’s authority
- Coordinating lease documentation and handover records
- Connecting the property search with relocation or tenancy support where separately agreed
Availability, owner approval, building policy, legal interpretation, and final commercial terms remain subject to the relevant third parties and signed documents.
Choose the Unit, Not Just the Address
Kempinski Private Residence combines large-format apartments, managed facilities, Grand Indonesia access, and a Bundaran HI location.
Those are meaningful advantages.
They are not enough to select a home on their own.
The view may differ. The furniture may differ. The maintenance history may differ. The owner’s response to repairs may differ. The parking, storage, light, noise, and lease conditions may differ.
Start with your daily routine.
Confirm the office and school journey. Decide how much space you genuinely need. Compare currently available units. Test the systems. Read the lease carefully. Document the condition before moving in.
The building gives you the location.
The individual apartment determines whether that location works as a home.
Compare Current Kempinski Units Before You Commit
Share your household size, office location, preferred layout, budget, move-in date, furnishing needs, pet, parking, and lease requirements. Noble Properties Asia will help you compare the current options and identify the details that need confirmation before viewing or signing.
