This modern hotel is listed only because it incororates the Old Medan City Hall which was built in 1908 during the Dutch colonial period. 

The resort offers two traditional Sumatra bungalows, with beautiful hand polished timber floors and custom wood furniture. These bungalows are situated four feet above the ground.

Built in 2000. the owners sought to "create a harmonious atmosphere of days gone by in a tropical garden". A respite from the busy city.

Medan is a fascinating multicultural historical city. As there are many ethnic groups living in the city, such as the Javanese, Minangkabau, Batak, Indians, and Chinese, the city is an example of a multicultural and multi-ethnic society. The hotel proprietors are also tour operators and can guide you through the various ethnic neighborhoods and pre-war historical buildings.

The plantation industry started in the 1870s and is the most influential part of the history of Medan. Money was made by exporting tobacco, rubber and palm oil. To this day, impressive buildings remind of these glory days from the colonial times. The most famous buildings from before 1940 are the palace of the Sultan of Deli, the Great Mosque and the House of the former tycoon Tjong A Fie.
