Medan City

The name given for a site; an area where vicious battles were fought amongst different races from different villages. That period in history has lapsed.

Medan today is capital North Sumatra, and is the 3rd largest city in Indonesia. Its international airport Polonia is the third busiest after Jakarta and Bali. As Sumatra's international gateway, Medan is the centre of commerce and administration of approximately one million people. With an important harbour, trade infrastucture, modern accomodation and transportation to all major tourist and business destinations, it is a growing metropolis of the far east with vast potentials.

Historic remnants of Medan include the Palace of the Sultans of Deli and the Masjid Raya (Grand Mosque). Both have been restored to their past grandeur; a monumental reminder of times past. A tour around Medan brings back memories of early Dutch settlers, who bought about the development of Deli Tobacco estates.

Medan is also the transit point to other places of interest like Lake Toba, Si-piso piso waterfalls, Orang-utan nature reserves and crocodile farms.

Hotel Danau Toba International Medan is situated ideally in the heart of the city, with access to the airport (10 minutes) shopping centres, banks and government and trade offices.
