In the middle of Jakarta’s prestigious district, Menteng, however, is a stunning neoclassical building that serves to reconstruct what architecture was like during the time. The building functions as a hotel – The Hermitage, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Jakarta. The building has been preserved as a work of cultural heritage by the city government.
