House of Tugu, Old Town Jakarta

房間非常棒，酒店的經理可以帶你來一場酒店內部遊，非常棒的各種老物件，值得週末休息日的時候在這住一晚，送了兩份早餐，兩個人的下午茶還有兩個人的半小時免費按摩，雖然價格不一定多便宜，但還是值得

Wonderful stay in one of the most beautiful hotels in Jakarta. The service and staff is impeccable. Very warm welcome upnlon checkin, followed by impressive tour throughout the hotel, bar & restaurants. The menu & food is exquisite, whatever you like is on the menu (incl. vegan dishes & drinks). Every room is surprisingly styled with artifacts & objects collected by the owner of this Hotel. Rooms are all different, very spacious & comfi bedding. Definitely the best choice in town, conveniently situated in the old town of Jakarta, close to all heritage sites & museum. Looking forward to our next stay!

Stunning hotel, venue & facilities. Delicious dining at Cafe Babah & all of the lovely staff were wonderfully friendly, attentive & professional. A unique ecclectic space showcasing local history & art, perfectly blended with modern, luxurious decor & facilities.

Wir haben Ende Februar 2025 zwei Nächte im House of Tugu, Old Town Jakarta verbracht. Was soll ich schreiben… eine unbeschreiblich schöne und atmosphärische stimmige Unterkunft in zentraler Lage sehr nah zum Taman Fatahillah. Das Hotel wird eines der TOP Unterkünfte in SEA werden. Zu unserer Zeit gab es ein Soft Opening aber sowohl Frühstück als auch der Service waren top. Das Personal sehr aufmerksam und super freundlich. Wir bekamen eine Privatführung durch das verwinkelte Hotel. Es gibt zwei Restaurants, einen Pool, einen Wellnesbereich (wir hatten eine sehr entspannte Massage dort) und verschiedene wunderschön gestaltete Räume zum Anmieten von Veranstaltungen. Im unteren Bereich finden sich viele Museumstücke und Sammlungen der Familie aus dem alten Batavia. Also, wenn in Jakarta dann muss man im House of Tugu wohnen

House of Tugu is the latest hotel from the Tugu Group, which I have frequented many times. This one is truly the masterpiece... the decor and mood is otherworldly. The room is spacious and very comfy. Breakfast was amazing and I really like their coffee. Service is something that all Tugu hotels share, always warm, genuine, and caring. To me, this is the perfect weekend getaway hotel.

Expectations sway much thinking about our family’s stay here. The opulence and detail in Tugu House promise much. Unfortunately, it does not meet its standards as a complete hotel. A fact that the hotel staff seemed only too apologetic about during our stay. The hotel, I understand, formally launches in February 2025; we booked for two nights on a ‘soft launch’ basis in December 2024. The lower floor comprises the hotel's public spaces, restaurant and a ‘museum’. In the latter, curios and antiques jostle for attention in galleries packed with artefacts that the family have collected from across Indonesia and Asia over their 200-year custodianship of the warehouses in old Batavia. It is a heartfelt display of family history. Alongside the proud celebration of their heritage, there is an impish sense of humour behind the curation: ancient artefacts are flanked by vermillion gorillas. As a guest, you can wander the atmospheric cloisters at leisure. The accommodation rooms are, apparently, designed by the owner’s daughter. They are calmer in design, citing design elements from the Peranakan community. Despite the antiquity of features, they are modern and comfortable. The impression is glamorous. The staff are effusively friendly. Our four-year-old was treated like a long-lost friend. One member of the team invited us to an impromptu tour of the museum and rooms. The breakfast was lavish, offering a generous array of beautifully prepared Peranakan and Western dishes. Despite the warm hospitality of the staff and the striking appearance, the hotel is not ready to receive guests. The top floor is currently available for ‘soft launch’ bookings. However, this places sleepers underneath large machinery on the roof floor, which emits pumping sounds that pulse around the room every 40 seconds. Sleep was disrupted and the family rose to a weary-eyed start to the day. The reception was understanding and accommodated a room change for the second night. We moved to a lower floor, where the pumping sounds were still audible, although muffled. The room itself was beautifully decorated but was not ready to receive guests. There was no hot water, the sinks didn’t work, and the communication devices were nonfunctional. The floors were also unvarnished. There appears to be a swimming pool on the ground floor, but its muddy water and apparent lack of accompanying facilities suggest that it, too, is not finished. Despite these teething issues, we had a positive experience. I understand that its actual launch is in February 2025, whereafter I would recommend another investigation – assuming, that is, they have resolved the noise and other issues. The care and detail that have comprised this unique establishment over the twenty years of its reconstruction will ensure that, once finished, it will be one of the great hotels of Southeast Asia. However, as much as I would like to give the hotel the top score, it’s hard to be overly fawning, when you’re paying fo
