Hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia
Looking for accommodations in Indonesia's capital city? The hotels in these articles provide plenty of choice arranged by location: you'll find a hotel that meets your budget, well within shooting distance of Jakarta's many activities. Some of them offer a taste of Indonesia street foods right at their doorstep, too!
This is where Jakarta all began - from the port of Sunda Kelapa, in North Jakarta, the oldest confirmed part of the city. Today, the coastal area of North Jakarta hosts the city's ports (Tanjung Priok and the aforementioned Sunda Kelapa); a wholesale shopping haven (Mangga Dua) and the recreational area of Ancol. The old colonial area of Old Batavia is also close by to visitors staying in North Jakarta.
The accommodations in North Jakarta vary from comfortably luxurious to budget-basic, matching the somewhat gritty feel of this part of the capital. For budget options, look to Jakarta's Chinatown, also in North Jakarta.
Somewhere in the three-star level, the Ibis Mangga Dua (compare rates) towers over Mangga Dua's sprawling shopping centers, providing 214 compact but comfortable rooms with free (and fast) Wifi. Amenities are hard to come by at the Ibis Mangga Dua, although the La Table restaurant at the lobby level serves a great breakfast buffet, and other halal (the Islamic version of kosher) a la carte specials 24 hours a day.

Central Jakarta is the Indonesian capital's most modern sub-city, home to its business headquarters, embassies, and some of Jakarta's most interesting shopping, entertainment and dining options.
Stay close to Bundaran HI, the iconic roundabout abutting the Grand Indonesia shopping complex (stay here on a weekend and you might luck into joining car-free Sundays, where you can ride a rented bike down a Jakarta highway).
You might also explore the district of Menteng, and the Jalan Surabaya Antique Market within it - hours and hours of "antiquing" joy, with both kitschy and artistic secondhand items at your fingertips at low costs.
Your guide has personally experienced a stay at Ascott Jakarta (compare rates), a mere five minutes' walk from Bundaran HI and right across the street from Grand Indonesia. With 23 floors and 198 apartment units, guests get roomy luxury varying in size from a studio unit to an utterly expansive 3-bedroom penthouse.
Whichever unit you get as your own, you'll find yourself surrounded by comfort: sheer white curtains, comfy beds with clean linens, marble flooring, with Balinese accents to remind you where you are.

Jakarta's "Golden Triangle" is the business district that covers Setia Budi and surrounding areas, with part extending into Central Jakarta. The high-end hotels in the southernmost component city of Jakarta are mainly aimed at the upscale executives flying in to do business in booming Indonesia. There seems to be a mall on every street, and the bars do brisk business after dark.
Guests checking into the Ritz Carlton Jakarta Pacific Place (compare rates) can hardly do worse; 62 guestrooms on the premises all offer large and comfortable quarters with bathrooms en suite furnished with BVLGARI bathing amenities.More »
For visitors who want to stay close to Soekarno-Hatta airport, a hotel in West Jakarta should be seriously considered. But the airport isn't the sub-city's only attraction; West Jakarta is also one of the capital's most historic sections, with part of Batavia Old Town (including Fatahillah Square) falling within the sub-city's boundaries.
Other historical structures worth seeing include the Museum Sejarah Jakarta (the Jakarta History Museum in front of Fatahillah Square); Gedung Merah, an old Dutch colonial structure in Batavia; and venerable Christian churches like the Gereja Sion and the Chinese-influenced Gereja Katolik Santa Maria de Fatima.
One of the more modern accommodations in this part of Jakarta, the Pullman Jakarta Central Park (compare rates) stands in Podomoro City Super Block; guests are treated to interiors done up in an "Industrial Raw" design sensibility that blends luxury lines with a modern museum mindset. 317 rooms all come with floor-to-ceiling windows, flat-screen TV with cable access, and bathroom en suite with glass doors.More »
Budget travelers need not despair - the lower end of the price spectrum is well in hand with this list of hotels for Indonesia travelers with tiny budgets. These backpacker-budget accommodations are mainly targeted at local travelers, but they're perfectly able to take in foreign visitors, too.
This list covers hotels all around Jakarta - many of them are located close to major Jakarta tourist spots, providing convenience on top of the low rates you pay for your stay. The Cipta Hotel (compare rates) is a perfect case in point: located in the commercial district of Menteng, this hotel stands within a stone's throw from a number of several shopping malls; Monas (Independence Monument) and Masjid Istiqlal are just a short ride away.
For a relatively low cost, you get a choice of 48 guestrooms with 24-hour room service thrown in (courtesy of the hotel's on-site restaurant, Blueberry Pancake House & Bar).More »
