A timeless ritual reimagined through the lens of Peranakan and Javanese heritage
Jakarta, Indonesia – Once a quiet ritual in 19th-century Europe—where tea was served with delicate cakes and conversation in drawing rooms—high tea has traveled across continents, evolving with every culture it touched. In England, it was a bridge between lunch and dinner. In Peranakan homes, it became an afternoon filled with kue and family stories. In Java, a cup of tea was—and still is—a gesture of welcome, always accompanied by something sweet or savory, always served with care.
At House of Tugu Jakarta, high tea becomes more than just a menu offering—it is a tribute to tradition, history, and the slow, beautiful art of gathering.
Set within a restored colonial building in Jakarta’s Old Town, House of Tugu is not merely a hotel, but a living museum of Batavia’s golden past. Surrounded by antiques, artworks, and heirlooms, guests are invited to pause the day and enter a space where time softens.
The High Tea experience features a refined selection of Peranakan-inspired sweet and savory delicacies, served on classic porcelain and paired with your choice of coffee, chocolate drinks, or tea—each steeped in story. Whether you’re marking an occasion or simply chasing a slower hour, this is where culture, taste, and setting come together.
