Best Hotels with Activities in Medan

Medan is the capital of North Sumatra and Indonesia's fourth-largest city, usually visited as a one- or two-night stopover before or after Lake Toba. Families come through for the food along Merdeka Walk, the Kesawan heritage district and Maimun Palace, and stay at hotels built around a pool and air conditioning rather than beach access, since the coast sits over an hour away. Kualanamu International Airport connects the city, roughly 40 to 60 minutes from most central hotels depending on traffic.
