Best Hotels in Banten

Just west of Jakarta, Banten offers a compelling mix of history and coastal relaxation that feels a world away from the capital's intensity. The main draw is the UNESCO-listed Banten Lama, the ruins of a 16th-century sultanate where you can explore the Grand Mosque of Banten and the crumbling Dutch Fort Speelwijk. For a complete change of pace, head to Anyer Beach for its iconic lighthouse and long stretches of black sand, perfect for watching traditional fishing boats return at sunset. This is a destination for history buffs and those seeking a straightforward seaside break without the crowds of more famous Indonesian islands.

Most visitors find it convenient to base themselves around the Serang area for access to the historical sites, or right along the coast in Anyer for immediate beach access. It suits independent travelers and couples looking for an easy weekend trip from Jakarta, as well as domestic tourists exploring their own country's heritage. Getting around requires a rental car or hired driver, as the key sites are spread out, but the main toll road from Jakarta makes the journey straightforward.

On HOTEVI, you'll find seven hotels listed for Banten, ranging from simple, budget-friendly losmen near the beach to a handful of comfortable, mid-range resorts in Anyer with pools and direct ocean views. Accommodation here is generally practical and affordable, focusing on value and location over luxury, making it an excellent choice for an uncomplicated escape.
