The Best Boutique Hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta is often regarded as a stopover en route to more popular destinations in Indonesia, such as Bali and Lombok. However, the capital city has much to offer. You can discover local culture at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, see colonial heritage in Kota Tua and admire the presidential palace, Istana Merdeka. After, peruse the Glodok Chinatown Market and Jalan Surabaya Flea Market for shopping bliss. Cap you visit by staying in one of the top boutique hotels in Jakarta – they’re all bookable on Culture Trip.
1. Raffles Jakarta
Chain Hotel, Luxury
The Raffles hotel brand is renowned the world over, so it’ll be no surprise this outpost is a luxe place to stay. You can’t miss it – a towering skyscraper in the Kuningan district of the Golden Triangle of Jakarta. Here, you’ll find some of the best hotel views in the city, plus rooms with custom bathrobes, floor-to-ceiling windows, butler service and deep bathtubs.
2. The Dharmawangsa Jakarta

All suites open onto a private terrace and come with 24-hour butler service.
3. Posto Dormire Hotel

Posto Dormire combines industrial design features – exposed brick and metal girders – with top hotel amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym and a “floating” transparent swimming pool in the heart of the building. The downstairs art gallery showcases original works, from murals focused on the Industrial Revolution to contemporary installations. Finish your day with a cocktail at the fancy rooftop Numinous Skybar.
