A propriedade — Makara Regency
The Makara Regency is a practical three-star business hotel south of Jakarta, with a lobby that feels more like a clean, air-conditioned transit lounge than a resort. It’s popular with government officials and university visitors thanks to its location near the University of Indonesia campus. The rooms are functional, the breakfast buffet is modest, and you’re here because you need a reliable base for work or a quick transit stop — not for a holiday.
Crónicas de Depok
Depok began as a 17th-century private estate granted by the Dutch East India Company to Cornelis Chastelein, a VOC administrator who freed slaves and established a Christian community here. The city grew rapidly in the 20th century as a commuter suburb of Jakarta, and the founding of the University of Indonesia in 1950 turned it into an education hub. Today Depok is a densely populated, traffic-heavy satellite city with a youthful, student-driven energy. Its architecture is a mix of colonial-era bungalows, sprawling modern malls, and endless rows of boarding houses.
