Revitalization of Kerta Niaga Kota Tua building in Jakarta as a boutique hotel

Abstract

Kota Tua Jakarta is a Dutch colonial heritage that has to be a part of tourism in Jakarta with Dutch architecture characteristics. It has been protected in Ali Sadikin’s government era in 1972. However, many buildings were abandoned and recently held a revitalization after Basuki Tjahaya Purnama’s government era in 2016. This research aimed to give the insight to revitalize old buildings in this area, and one of them was the Kerta Niaga boutique hotel. This research was a qualitative method by using primary data and secondary data. It finds that the revitalization of the Kerta Niaga Boutique Hotel is by planning adaptive re-use with the additional public facility of the coffee shop. It aims to attract tourists to Kota Tua, and to re-introduce Batavia’s ambiance through the Hotel’s interior design.
