One of Southeast Asia’s best kept secrets has to be the dazzling metropolis that is Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. Traditionally not as popular as other Southeast Asian hubs like Bangkok, it has plenty to offer in its own right. The city welcomes visitors for shopping, entertainment and dining as well as business, and there are plenty of authentic cultural experiences on offer also.
Once an outpost of the spice trade, you will still notice the colonial influence from the Netherlands, England, Portugal and Spain, alongside the traditions and customs of Indonesia, which are still very much alive. There are many business hotels in the city, but for those wanting to upgrade to something with unparalleled location and amenities, the biggest name in luxury hotels in Jakarta are ready to welcome you with their world-class service. With all that the city has to offer, coupled with the famous warm Indonesian hospitality, Jakarta is sure to become your go-to destination for a 5-star hotel experience.
