Do you dream to sleep in a “hip” but not too expensive hotel? To wake up in a coffee plantation? To experience a lifestyle that recalls the golden age of travel in the 1930s? Indonesia makes it possible with some extraordinary hotels, resorts and villas.
Over the last decade, many international chains invested and continue to invest in Indonesia as a sign of confidence for the tourism potential of the country. Hotels in Indonesia have even set trends over the world. The luxurious “Balinese style” with its intensive use of precious wood, its combination of natural material like cotton or rattan, its balanced integration of art pieces and its refined spa experience has spread to the rest of the world. Bali today continues to set trends in the industry with some of the most lavish hotels on earth. Travellers will however find more and more unique properties in other parts of Indonesia. You will find a selection of hotels which are exceptional in any standards. The list is not exhaustive and they are many more to discover during your next trip.
Jakarta: trendy living at affordable prices
If you expect the best of international chains, they are all there in Jakarta: Hilton, Hyatt, Mandarin Oriental, Meridien, Mercure, Nikko, Shangri-La or Sheraton and more… However, one of the new emerging markets is today boutique design hotels. Two properties are a must for trendy urbanites: the Alila Jakarta is a haven of relaxation and contemporary style with its minimalist modern lines and its collection of art. All the rooms are large, well lighted and equipped with free internet access. And surprisingly, rates start as little as US$ 90 for this four-stars property, a great bargain! For budget conscious but trendy travellers, the Sparks hotel is a new option. The eight-storey building has been designed as a three-star boutique hotel in modern “youthful” architecture, located in the heart of Chinatown. Travellers can even choose the colour of their rooms in three different shades (blue, green or purple) and will enjoy the funky bathroom! Prices start from US$ 60…
