By the time Portuguese merchants arrived in 1522, Jakarta was a bustling port city with a rich history and Islamic heritage. Despite attempts to avoid European invasion, the Dutch occupied Jakarta until its independence in 1950. Evidence of this is apparent in many central Jakarta attractions such as St. Mary's Cathedral. Other unique tourist sites include the National Monument, National Museum, Mesjid Istiqlal Mosque and Museum Permusan. Novotel Mangga Dua Hotel is a centrally located hotel in Jakarta, and an ideal spot for tourists who want to visit some of these sites.
Mangaa Dua Square Hotel is a few minutes from the Java Sea coast by foot. Along the coast are Sunda Kelapa Harbour, Binaria Beach, Ancol Dreamland, Fantasy Land and Seaworld. This hotel is just over a mile from the historic city Sunda Kelapa.
