What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
occupying a structure that’s barely nine feet wide, PituRooms may be the skinniest hotel in all of Indonesia, let alone the world.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in central Salatiga, the hotel puts you within easy walking distance of low-rise streetscapes framed by surrounding volcanic peaks.
The rooms
Micro-rooms fit double beds, modular bathroom pods, and custom artwork into a compact footprint with windows framing the town.
Restaurant
PituLounge
The top-floor lounge serves drinks along a wooden counter looking out toward Mount Merbabu and Lake Rawa Pening.
Restaurant
PituRasa

How it began
Architect Ary Indra transformed an abandoned 2.8-metre-wide former dumping ground into a soaring exercise in micro-living.
