Where to stay in Sukun
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Industry sits here, not hotels. Sukun turns up in the record for Bentoel Group rather than for any street of guesthouses, so a traveller with business at the tobacco works books a room in Malang and comes out to the kecamatan by day. Klojen keeps the cathedral and the museum. Nothing in the register fixes a landmark to Sukun itself.

About Sukun
What are the main landmarks in Sukun?
Sukun's record narrows to a single name. Bentoel Group, counted among Indonesia's oldest tobacco companies, works from Sukun, and it is the only entry the record fixes to this kecamatan of Malang rather than to the city as a whole. No museum, temple or heritage building is listed alongside it.
Klojen carries the cathedral and Museum Brawijaya instead.
What is the history of Sukun?
The kecamatan carries no charter year. What the record gives Sukun instead is industry: Bentoel Group, among the older tobacco companies of Indonesia, has its base in the district, and that single fact stands where a founding date would otherwise sit. Malang's registers place the whole kecamatan in East Java, alongside Klojen, Bareng, Jodipan and Tanjungrejo.
Where is Sukun?
Sukun takes in one of the kecamatan of Malang, in the East Java province of Indonesia, with Klojen, Bareng and Tanjungrejo among the districts sharing the city.
