10 Best Luxury Hotels in Jakarta

Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, is a sprawling densely populated metropolis. A rich mix of Javanese, Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and European culture and traditions have influenced the architecture, language and cuisine of this pulsating city.

The epicentre of Indonesian politics and commerce, Jakarta is a conglomeration of villages known as kampung, now crossed by main roads and superhighways, and developed at an astonishing rate. Once the bustling heart of Dutch Indonesia, the old town now known as Kota is home to the traditional cobblestoned square of Taman Fatahillah.
