Last updated August 13, 2026
ibis Semarang Simpang Lima sits on Jalan Gajah Mada in the heart of Semarang's Simpang Lima district, close to Citraland mall, the Simpang Lima culinary area, and landmarks like Lawang Sewu and the old town. The 173-room property offers straightforward ibis-brand comfort with a 24/7 bar, the La Table restaurant, and free Wi-Fi, aimed at both business and leisure travelers.
