Guest score
A 90-room five-star boutique hotel in a restored 1920s Art Deco building in leafy Menteng -- Indonesia's first Tribute Portfolio property, with colonial-era heritage, modern comforts, a rooftop pool and the La Vue bar.
Last updated August 5, 2026
The Hermitage occupies a restored 1920s Art Deco landmark, originally a Dutch-era telephone/PTT office, in the tree-lined embassy district of Menteng. Launched in 2015 as Indonesia's first Tribute Portfolio hotel, it pairs colonial character with 90 spacious rooms and suites (from around 40 sqm), a ninth-floor rooftop pool and the La Vue rooftop bar. On TripAdvisor it holds roughly a 4.0 of 5 rating, ranked among Jakarta's mid-upper tier. Independent reviewers consistently praise the heritage architecture, generous room sizes, quiet yet central location and an impressive breakfast at Restaurant 1928 mixing Western and Indonesian dishes. Elite Marriott Bonvoy members report warm recognition, upgrades and responsive e-butler service via WhatsApp. Criticism is not uncommon: one detailed reviewer described chaotic breakfast service, inconsistent housekeeping and rooms that felt overpriced at rack rate, while others note the rooftop pool lacks a real skyline view and Jakarta traffic makes the airport run long. Overall the property reads as a characterful, service-led heritage stay that rewards points redemptions more than full cash rates.

Paliparan · Koen · Dec 2019
Enthusiastic review of the Menteng heritage hotel: spacious room, impressive Western/Indonesian breakfast buffet, delicious nasi goreng and exceptional service. Minor gripes: weak coffee and heavy airport traffic.

Mixed points-stay in studio and 1-bedroom suites. Good value on redemption and elite recognition, but flags chaotic breakfast service, loud housekeeping, poor pool/room views and AC issues. Overpriced at the ~$190 cash rate.
Milesopedia · Etienne Werbinski · Sep 2023
Titanium Elite reviewer scores it 8/10: upgraded to an executive suite, efficient check-in, a WhatsApp e-butler, quiet rooms and an impressive breakfast at Restaurant 1928. Small aesthetic flaws and limited gym hours the only cons.
