Explore Pontianak – The Equator City
Set on the banks of the Kapuas River – the longest river in Indonesia – Pontianak offers a blend of heritage, culture, and natural beauty. The city’s equatorial location makes it one of the few places in the world where visitors can stand precisely on the equator at the iconic Equator Monument, or experience the Sun Culmination Festival, a rare celestial event that happens twice a year.
Travelers can also visit Kadriah Palace, the 18th century residence of the Pontianak Sultanate, and explore the city’s vibrant riverfront for dining, shopping, and cultural immersion. From traditional Dayak crafts to bustling markets and modern retail centers, Pontianak is a city where the old and new come together. The city is also celebrated for its rich culinary heritage – a melting pot of Malay, Dayak, and Chinese influences – offering everything from riverside seafood restaurants to lively hawker-style eateries that make it a true haven for food lovers.
“At Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak, we want our guests to experience the true spirit of this vibrant riverside city,” said Richardo Tutuko, Multi Property General Manager of Four Points by Sheraton Pontianak and Element by Westin Bali Ubud. “Whether it’s unwinding in our comfortable rooms, discovering local flavors at Lumina, or simply soaking in the charm of Pontianak’s culture and hospitality, we’re here to make every stay effortlessly enjoyable and authentically local.”
