The Hermitage, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Jakarta

All, from the moment of booking at Booking com till the check out of my stay! It was an sentimental journey and they provided me with all the things you can imagine from private vegetarian cooking for me to make my room feel home! I had booked so many extra's that way! Nothing was negative, tea and coffee with something was complementary in all areas of the hotel. Dinner was part of the room and this was cooked delicious each day different. I (Vegetarian) had an special treatment which can only dreamed off! Not a single letter of negative things to mention, when I left they gave me presents for on the way to enjoy the good local Indonesian food. It made my memories from the past so special. From all the hotels in Jakarta, I can only recommend this historical place. If you check in you become part of it, and no doubts this is not my last stay in the Hermitage from now onwards! I can only recommend more sentimental travellers to see what they offer and book their stay, please do.

Staying at The Hermitage was an exceptional experience that truly exceeded my expectations. The hotel is a masterpiece of timeless elegance, blending colonial charm with modern luxury. From the moment I stepped into the beautifully preserved building, I was captivated by its serene ambiance and impeccable attention to detail. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and exude a sense of understated luxury. The comfortable bed, plush linens, and thoughtful amenities made my stay incredibly relaxing. I also loved the rooftop pool and lounge area, offering stunning views of Jakarta’s skyline—perfect for unwinding after a busy day in the city. Located in the historic Menteng district, the hotel is surrounded by leafy streets, iconic architecture, and a quiet charm that’s rare in bustling Jakarta. Menteng is known for its rich history, vibrant culinary scene, and unique blend of old-world elegance and urban sophistication. The proximity to great cafes, restaurants, and local attractions added so much value to my stay. It’s a fantastic base to explore Jakarta while enjoying a peaceful retreat. Chef Adi’s culinary creations were nothing short of delightful, we enjoyed his special Tiger tea. Zahra’s warm and attentive service added a personal touch that made mornings feel extra special. Their dedication and passion truly enhanced the dining experience, leaving a lasting impression. The staff at The Hermitage were outstanding—attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. Every interaction felt personalized, and they went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. The food was exquisite, with a mix of international and Indonesian flavors, beautifully presented. Breakfast was particularly delightful, offering a wide variety of dishes to suit every palate. Whether you’re visiting Jakarta for business or leisure, The Hermitage is a gem that offers a unique and memorable experience.

The Hermitage is a five-star hotel as a five-star hotel should be. Situated in Menteng in a monumental building from the 1920s, expanded with stylish new construction. Hospitality is written with a capital H here, just like in all of Asia. In this light, it is unbelievable that some hotels in the Netherlands (not a service country at all) give themselves (?) five stars. They rather mean two stars. The executive room is spacious and also very suitable for solo travelers. The staff is, without exception, very customer-friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet and breakfast menu in the 1928 restaurant are rich in choices. This is a hotel to stay again and again.

We stayed 4 nights at the Hermitage. This hotel has incredible charm and a very professional staff. The bed was very comfortable and the room met all of our needs. The Ala cart breakfast was excellent along with the evening wine and snacks. All of the staff are personable, customer oriented, and professional. The staff let us know they were working on the hot water, so it may not get as hot as we liked. However, the water was plenty warm. The hotel is close to historic sites. We would recommend this hotel for your stay in Jakarta.
