This place is amazing absolutely unique piece of art. It is like a museum, gallery and royal palace. Designer masterpiece! We loved everything and all was beyond our expectations. Must visit when in Jakarta.

The House of Tugu comes with my highest recommendation. It is quite an extraordinary place located in Old Town Jakarta. It’s housed in an expansive and meandering home that once belonged to a Chinese merchant in the 1800’s. It’s a majestic old colonial building filled to the brim with arts and crafts from all over Asia. There is so much to see that a tour is offered to view the many rooms and collection. Ms Hevi, our guide, was brilliant. She lead us around showing us the highlights of the collection and telling us about the long history. This is not your holiday inn — the rooms are palatial, the staff is welcoming and friendly and attentive to your needs. This is one of the most unique hotels I’ve ever stayed in and by far the most fascinating hotel in Old Town Jakarta or perhaps anywhere in Indonesia.

Nothing. It was fantastic.

House of Tugu is a marvellous place. Located in the colonial old town of Jakarta it showcases an incredible array of antiques, statues, paintings etc. It is a museum on its own right. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is very good. Prices are relatively high (for rooms and food) but that is understandable given the uniqueness of the experience. Our room was very large and comfortable. The swimming pool is long and fun. Breakfasts are delicious and offer something for every taste. There is a possibility for a massage.

We were a little taken aback by the lack of a door separating the toilet from the rest of the room. :-)

It is quite difficult to describe this hotel in words. Perhaps it could be said that it's more like an incredible museum that you can stay in at the same time. The colonial past and glory of this place breathes on you from every corner. All the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, we felt like a maharaja. The hotel's restaurant offers a wide selection of tempting delights and last but not least, amazing coffee from their own production.

It was great. Newly opened and everyone was very accomodating

The place is magical, almost like a museum with so much to see. Very friendly team, delicious food and a gorgeous mysterious pool. The cafe is fantastic. We loved every minute.

Nothing at all. We loved every inch and every minute of our stay, and will for sure visit again. Highly recommended!

We added an extra day in Jakarta to explore Kota Tua, Jakarta old town, and booked a room in the new House of Tugu hotel. It was a mindblowing experience, I wish we could have extended our stay much longer. It was hard to go out at all, because the hotel itself offers só much history and artifacts to explore, presented in such a joyful and delightful way, that it can be seen as a museum in its own right! The hotel is a longterm project of the owners, who keep working on it (not everything planned is yet finished). Their love for Indonesia’s heritage, its art and culture, their refined taste and experience and knowledge of top rate hospitality is I would say rare and unmatched. Everything, from our questions during the booking process, the warm welcome, the afternoon high tea (check out the lively ground floor café!), the excellent dinner (several restaurant to choose from), the beautifully decorated room with fantastic bed and bathroom, the wide choice of breakfast options, to the helpful goodbye the next day, was just beyond expectation.

We liked everything

House of Tugu is the most astonishing and unique hotel imaginable. The hallways, bar/restaurant and rooms are filled with a mix of antique and spectacular decorations. Great food, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and beds, all perfect

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at in Jakarta! I had heard about this hotel from friends and social media, but I didn’t expect it to have such a rich history to discover. The antiques were absolutely incredible, and I loved how they are showcased in every corner of the hotel. The staff were exceptional—extremely friendly and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast was also amazing, featuring traditional Peranakan dishes that I thoroughly enjoyed. The room was my absolute favorite part. Initially, I expected a classic old-style setup, but it far exceeded my expectations. Every detail, from the amenities to the facilities, was new, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed. The hotel perfectly combines a luxurious stay with art and a touch of Batavia’s history. Last but not least, the hotel’s location is ideal for exploring the captivating heritage of the Kota Tua area, which is just a short walk away. It’s truly the best hotel in Jakarta, and I can’t wait to come back.

This hotel, located in the heart of Jakarta's historic center, is a wonderful place full of charm and elegance. From the moment you arrive, you can feel its history through its beautiful design, which combines colonial and Indonesian styles. The rooms are big and nicely decorated, offering modern comfort with a classic touch, making you feel special. The service is excellent: the staff is friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with any needs or give good advice. The restaurant serves delicious food, mixing local and international flavors – a great treat after a day of exploring Kota Tua. Close to Kota Tua, the hotel makes it easy to visit historic sites and enjoy the local culture. Whether you are here for fun or work, this hotel is a perfect place to experience Jakarta with comfort and a bit of history. We will happily stay here again on our next trip to Jakarta.
