The House of Tugu is extraordinary, the best hotel I've experienced in 38 years of world travel. It's an oasis in the most densely populated city in the world. Adjacent to walking areas of Old Town Jakarta, it's a museum boutique hotel with exceptional courtyards, hallways, displays, restaurants, spa, and rooms each uniquely decorated. The staff and services are superb. We stayed two nights before heading to a small island beach, but then returned for 4 more nights so we could really soak in the experience.
The owner collected art and artifacts since 1970 and spent 21 years renovating, decorating, landscaping the Forbidden House of Tugu before opening about a year ago. This hotel will become hugely popular. Stay there while it's still accessible; it's utterly underpriced as they build their reputation and clientele. No one told me that, but this I believe. Breakfast and High tea is included.
