Thamrin


Thamrin is one of the most happening areas in the metropolis. With comfortable, clean, broad sidewalks, the dynamic street boasts all-night dining and entertainment facilities, such as Djakarta Theatre (Jakarta’s first cinema), After Hour, Chili’s, McDonald’s (open 24 hours) and Starbucks (open 24 hours) around the renowned Sarinah Department Store.

The store itself is a reminder of the first wave of development, before the commercial hub of the city moved further south. Sarinah holds nostalgia for many and runs a thriving business on clothing, shoes, cosmetics, books, office supplies and a wide choice of Indonesian batiks and handicrafts. Besides the department store, you can also find the United Nations’ office, Embassies of Great Britain, Japan , France , Germany and Mexico and Hotel Sari Pan Pacific, one of the oldest grand hotels in Jakarta .
