West Jakarta & Tangerang

West Jakarta and Greater Tangerang, including Puri Indah, Kebon Jeruk, Gading Serpong, BSD City and Alam Sutera, cover a huge swathe of the metropolitan area where many Jakarta families live. The hotels around Puri, Gading Serpong and BSD, together with the region's big mall restaurants, offer weekend brunches that save residents the long drive into central Jakarta. Prices here are generally more affordable than in the Golden Triangle, parking is easy, and many brunches are aimed squarely at families, with kids' pricing and halal or pork-free menus. Check each listing for the latest bank-card promotions, which are just as common here as in the city centre.
