Menteng
Feel the history of Jakarta right next to the business center
Way back in the past, Menteng was established as a residential area for the Dutch. Most of the old buildings have been replaced over the centuries, but the structure of old Menteng is still there: shady, green wide streets and big houses with gardens provide a tropical colonial atmosphere. The area is also special as many embassies, museums and official buildings are located here.
That said, Menteng is just a stone’s throw away from the hustle and the bustle of Jakarta’s business district. Living here means you can enjoy the restaurants, the malls and shops of CBD with a laid back life in one of Jakarta’s most relaxed areas.
