Hotels are one of the most essential accommodations for a vacation, especially if you want to spend several days exploring various tourist attractions or simply stay there all day. A hotel with a standard design might appear boring at times; therefore, Jakarta boasts a number of unique-themed hotels that offer an unforgettable experience.
If you’re looking for a memorable and exciting stay, Jakarta has something special to offer. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most interesting and unique-themed hotels in Jakarta.
