Rising 28-storeys high above the largest city in Sumatra Island, Indonesia, JW Marriott Medan offers an excellent escape from the frenetic streets of North Sumatra’s capital. After all, it’s the first international five-star luxury hotel and the tallest building in the city. Hands down, it’s simply the best luxury hotel in Medan – one of Southeast Asia’s most underrated cities which doesn’t deserve its lackluster reputation.
Deemed only as a gateway, most travelers often bypass Medan for other destinations in North Sumatra like Bukit Lawang, Berastagi and Lake Toba. But by staying at JW Marriott Medan, I was able to appreciate the city more, discovering its multicultural attractions and excellent cuisine. I realized this underrated Southeast Asian city deserves as much attention as the other popular cities along the Strait of Malacca such as Penang, Melaka and Singapore. With a new modern airport at Kualanamu and emerging city skyline, Medan is fast becoming an emerging destination in itself.
