Favehotel

Top choice in Papua


The fancy hotels in Jayapura are mostly tame when it comes to design. Not the case with Favehotel. Sleek and modern with magenta accents at every turn, this boutique property stands tall and exuberant at the city centre, and its Lime Restaurant features indoor and terrace dining, with a stellar Indonesian menu. Amenities include a spa, executive lounge and ballroom.

Events are frequent, so don't be surprised if you're sharing the hotel with a wedding or two.
