Alpine Hotel, Jakarta

With its slim and long architecture, the three-star Alpine may seem rather unimpressive from the front. In reality, it is quite sizeable, welcoming guests in its spacious atrium lobby. The hotel gives good value for money, boasting a convenient location near the Kemayoran Exhibition Center, Lapangan Banteng Park, prominent nightspots, shopping complexes and some of the city's finest restaurants. All rooms come with a snug sitting area and a writing desk.
