Aston Samarinda

Top choice in Kalimantan


Samarinda's best city-centre hotel is where you come for pampered luxury. The colonnaded pool with its two-storey waterfall may be ostentatious, but the rooms have just the right amount of style and comfort. Some superiors have grand river views, while others have no windows but extra space. Fine dining, superb buffet breakfast and an in-house spa round out the scene nicely.
