Sotis Hotel

Top choice in Kupang


One of Kupang's better accommodation options, the 88 newish rooms at this waterfront mid-rise are stylish with pops of colour. There are two pools, a spa, restaurant with live music, bar with pool tables and a cake shop. Ask for a sea view.

The horrifically expensive penthouse (from 8,000,000Rp) is Kupang's best (read: only) luxury accommodation option.
