As people move around the country for work or for short breaks they find themselves moving away from large resort-based hotels and more towards smaller boutique hotels. Both small and in a fashionable and/or urban location, boutique hotels are perfect for short trips away whatever the reason. So to help, we have put together a list of the top boutique hotels across Indonesia to save you time when planning that short getaway.


 Artotel, Thamrin Jakarta

Perfectly placed in the centre of the city, Artotel is a hip hotel that blends art and luxury. Each of the eight floors is designed by an emerging Indonesian artist. With a different concept on each floor, you are in for an amazing sensory experience wherever you get out of the lift.


 The Gunawarman, Jakarta

Offering refinement and class is no easy thing in the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, but the Gunawarman takes on the challenge and succeeds. If you’re looking for luxury and quality while on a short getaway, then this is the place to be with elegant architecture and all your needs taken care of. 


 Morrissey, Jakarta

 Being placed in one of the busiest places in the capital would not normally mean relaxation or a pleasant night’s sleep. However, the Morrisey offers class and sophistication and is one of the best places to stay while on business. It boasts well-sized meeting spaces and very comfortable rooms. Also, the restaurants on-site are not to be turned away from as they offer tasty food just below your living area.

Designed by the well-known architect Tan Tijang Ay, The Breeze is as close to nature as you can get in a big city. It blends architecture with beauty to honour the “City of Flowers” as Bandung has come to be known. As well as 12 rooms, guests can enjoy some stunning artwork and a truly serene atmosphere.


 Greenhost Boutique Hotel Prawirotaman, Yogyakarta

The Greenhost is a creative hotspot that encourages the sharing of ideas and passions. As well as a sharing space for people to come together, the hotel also has its own art gallery for inspiration. With “green” in the name, you have to expect a little bit of nature so the hotel delivers with its own rooftop farm, which can be used by guests if they wish while also providing fresh produce for the hotel.


 Ize Seminyak, Bali

The Ize hotel in Seminyak takes all the best bits of the tropical island and adds hints of chic feeling and style. The result is an attractive and modern hotel that is really popular with the young and sophisticated crowd that frequents the hotel. If you want your Balinese experience with some stylish architecture and modern luxuries, then this is your place.


 Katamama, Bali

Nestled just next to Potato Head is the truly stunning Katamama hotel. Offering something akin to a designer city hotel the beautifully designed interior is only out-done by the rooms, which come with their own bar and bartender if you so wish. The Spanish-themed restaurant serves delicious cuisine and you’ll find it very hard to leave.


 The Haven, Bali

One of the bigger hotels on the list, the Haven is a surprisingly relaxing hotel. Only 10 minutes away from the beach, it is a great place to escape the Bali heat and craziness. The Haven combines the relaxing nature of Bali and the luxury of giving its guests everything they could need or want.
