Despite Eviction Execution, Hotel Sultan Still Lists Rooms on Online Travel Agents at Exorbitant Prices
Hotel Sultan, one of Jakarta’s iconic hotels, is finally undergoing an eviction following a lengthy ownership dispute between the government and PT Indobuildco.
The Central Jakarta District Court, supported by joint personnel from the TNI and Polri, is carrying out the eviction of The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta, located in the Gelora area, Central Jakarta.
Legal counsel for the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Centre (PPKGBK), Chandra Hamzah, revealed that after a 20-year dispute, the execution phase to secure this state-owned asset can finally proceed.
“Based on the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court and the execution order from the Central Jakarta District Court, the eviction is being carried out today, 18 June 2026,” Chandra told reporters.
Up until this execution process is completed, Hotel Sultan is still offering rooms on several Online Travel Agents (OTAs) at significant prices.
On the Agoda application, Hotel Sultan is still offering rates of Rp1,039,298 per night for Deluxe garden-view rooms, including breakfast for two.
Meanwhile, Grand Deluxe rooms, featuring king beds and city views, are available at a price of Rp1,197,602 per night.
