Swiss-Belhotel Danum

Kalimantan


This luxury property with resort intentions is the best in Palangka Raya, though it's 5km northwest of the centre (almost opposite the local nine-hole golf course). The vast marble lobby drops to the restaurant before opening into the courtyard with its winding pool and palm trees. Walk-in promo rates are often lower than even the internet discounts.

Options range from entry-level standards to the presidential suite with a whirlpool bathtub for two. The fitness centre is extensive with modern machines and free weights.
