House of Tugu Old Town Jakarta

What is unique about the property is that you're staying inside a living, breathing museum of Asian art! Staff is wonderful, late for breakfast the only day I need to go out early, darn. Western food needs some training but if you stick to the Aaian food, it's good. Rooms are beautiful, needs lighting timers in a few spots. We were walking in the dark.

This was the most amazing stay. We spotted this hotel from the outside 2 weeks earlier and reserved. It is a museum and epic adventure. The staff at every station were truly kind and concerned with our every need. The room is outstanding. Dining is wonderful. Welcome massage was divine. Thank you for all your efforts to ensure our stay was perfect.

Everything is special and extraordinary at House of Tugu. It's an oasis in the most populous city on the planet. The staff's attention to detail is outstanding, from flowers placed here and there, turn down service. The hotel itself is a museum, with uniquely decorated rooms. We stayed in The Colonial Room and highly recommend room 309, so long as you have a good sense of direction. It's a bit of a maze, which I'm proud to have easily mastered. It's all so beautifully interconnected and peaceful. I felt delighted at every turn. I enjoyed the spa services, all the meals, the coffee, high tea, the laundry service, the proximity just across the street to walking streets, a rare thing in Jakarta. After 38 years of world travel, I have found the best hotel of my life. I spent 2 nights there, then took a short trip, and returned for 4 more days to soak it all in. If you're in Jakarta, this is THE place to stay.

This is an amazing hotel. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. The food is outstanding as well. What sets the hotel apart from anyplace else I’ve stayed in the world is the building itself … boutique doesn’t quite capture it. It’s basically a hotel combined with an art and history museum. There are fascinating photos, sculptures and artifacts from the 19th early 20th century spread throughout the hotel. I would consider coming back to Jakarta just so I could stay at the House of Tugu. It’s that special.
