The Best Hotels Near Alila Solo, by the Record
-
The Agra rooftop lounge claims the highest perch in Central Java, which gives you a sense of how Alila Solo carries itself. This sleek urban hotel towers over Surakarta with stylish rooms and suites, a Spa Alila, and a pool deck that looks engineered to make you cancel your afternoon. A Javanese-international restaurant and a poolside café round out the social calendar for guests who can't quite bring themselves to leave.

A boutique hotel barely nine feet wide on a central Salatiga street, PituRooms leans hard into its absurd proportions rather than apologizing for them. The seven rooms each commit entirely to a single color, furnishings and all, and the public spaces sprinkle in small jokes about the situation. The top-floor lounge punches above its footprint with genuinely good views. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.

A villa resort sitting 700 meters from the 9th-century Borobudur Temple, surrounded by jungle-clad volcanoes in Central Java. Every freestanding villa comes with teak wood interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows; the better ones add a private plunge pool. A French-Indonesian restaurant and a rooftop bar handle meals, and guided temple tours mean you don't have to figure any of that out yourself, which is half the point of staying here.
