Simon Barnett is the former Australian rugby player running The Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta.

Former Australian Rugby Player Simon Barnett is the new General Manager at The Four Seasons Jakarta, Indonesia, and talks here about his new role, and the incredibly and surprisingly upscale food, culture and luxury on offer in Jakarta.

The Four Seasons Jakarta is a spectacular hotel.

He says the future direction of luxury travel in South East Asia is found in local experiences, and giving guests authentic exposure to the local culture and community.

Barnett believes Indonesians want to share their own culture and life with foreigners, and that extends to cooking and cuisine.

A Four Seasons veteran, he talks about the innovative new direction food is taking in South East Asia, and what guests can expect of the Four Seasons brand globally in this new era of high end travel.

He says his culinary team at the hotel in Jakarta is the best he has ever worked with, and the food in Indoensia generally is excpeitonal.

Barnett also analyses why South East Asia has so many luxury hotels and resorts, whereas there are very few in Australia.
