Welcome to Jakarta!

Let us help you find a budget or luxury hotel in this sprawling capital of Indonesia. Home to over 10 million people, Jakarta accounts for half of Indonesia's economy. Choose between its central area (Pusat means "center") or suburbs for your next stay.

Jakarta has a broad metropolitan area second only to greater Tokyo. Within its very core, Menteng (in the central business area) dates to the Dutch colonial era and is popular with luxury travelers. Kemang (a few miles south) is home to many expatriates and has hotels, restaurants and major universities.

On the north side of Jakarta, traces of Old Batavia (the colonial walled city of the 18th century) remain in the Kota Tua district (often just called "Kota"). The cobblestone Fatahillah Square anchors its center with museums, cafes, and a canal. Rent bicycles here to explore this charming district of hotels, shops, and restaurants.

Choose a hotel in your favorite part of Jakarta. Then explore the scenic rest of the Indonesian island of Java, including Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya!

Insider Travel Tips

  • Cultural tourists should visit Prambanan, a 9th-century Hindu temple complex (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) located 17 km northeast of Yogyakarta, on Java.
  • While Jakarta is humid year round, the "dry season" runs from May through September and the "wet season" from October to April (with heavy rain lasting a few hours).
  • Jakarta's main train station is Stasiun Gambir, serving express trains of Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI). Jakarta's metro rail (MRT) system runs south from Bundaran station in central Menteng. With major Jakarta hotels and shopping malls, this is a convenient base for sightseeing.
