The first four-star, international hotel to open its doors for business in the remote Irian Jaya capital of Jayapura. Located right in the center of this peaceful city, the Swiss-Belhotel Jayapura, delivers the same high standard of service and facilities that makes the Swiss-Belhotel hotels a favourite amongst travellers all over Asia. Modern well-appointed suites, and superb in-house dining make for a pleasant and relaxing stay, whether its business or pleasure that brings visitors to Jayapura. Made famous during the second world war as General Mac Arthur's headquarters, it was from here that allied forces repelled the Japanese forces, and a trip to the Jayapura war museum provides a fascinating insight into the often brutal history of this Indonesian province.
