Best Hotels with Activities in Depok

Depok sits just south of Jakarta, a university city built around the huge green campus of Universitas Indonesia and its namesake lake. Families end up here for a stopover near UI, for a wedding or a work trip along Margonda Raya, or because Soekarno-Hatta airport lands two hours north and a quieter base beats fighting Jakarta traffic with kids in the car. The city traces back to a Dutch-era settlement founded in the 1690s, though little of that history shows through the malls and toll roads today. Hotel choice for families is thin here: stays cluster along Margonda Raya's commercial strip, within reach of D'Mall and Depok Bus Station, rather than around any resort district.
