Hotels by Location | West Sumatra | Bukittinggi Area

Nestled in the lush green mountains at almost a thousand meters above sea level, Bukittinggi, meaning “high hill,” is one of the most pleasant, welcoming towns in Sumatra. It has become a favorite traveler’s destination, thanks to its wealth of environmental and cultural attractions, and to the friendly ways of the Minangkabau themselves. Bukittinggi is a fantastic place to shop for everything from exotic fruits to elaborately woven traditional cloths to exquisite silver work and antiques. It is also an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. Guests can trek through traditional villages, past high mountain lakes, and witness local dance or the famed West Sumatran bullfights. 

Excellent accommodations are to be found in Bukittinggi, especially at the Novotel Bukittinggi, whose elaborate Middle Eastern style architecture and international standard facilities are certain to impress even the most discerning traveler.
