Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a place that’s been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Jakarta typically retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.

They are quite similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the physical building and architecture. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the usual amenities you’d find in a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Jakarta doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
