The Selamat Datang Monument is a public sculpture and traffic-roundabout landmark in central Jakarta, Indonesia, located at the Hotel Indonesia Roundabout. It features two bronze figures, a man and a woman, in a stylised welcoming pose and was completed in the early 1960s.

The monument was commissioned during Jakarta’s post-independence modernisation period and quickly became a widely recognised city symbol and gathering point. The figure group sits on a raised plinth within the traffic circle and is visible from the adjacent thoroughfares and pedestrian areas.

The monument occupies a prominent spot on Jalan M.H. Thamrin near major hotels and office buildings and is frequently used as a point of orientation for visitors and residents.

• Location: Sits at the Hotel Indonesia Roundabout (Bundaran HI) in central Jakarta and is a common city landmark and meeting point.
• Date and appearance: Designed and executed in the Sukarno era and completed in the early 1960s, it depicts two bronze figures - a man and a woman - in a welcoming gesture.

The monument is in central Jakarta near the Hotel Indonesia roundabout (Bundaran HI). It is served by the Jakarta MRT (Bundaran HI station) and numerous bus and BRT routes. Driving is possible but traffic can be heavy; public transit often saves time.

• Visit at dusk when the monument's floodlights dramatize its figures and the traffic noise of Jakarta softens.
• Combine the stop with a walk through nearby Merdeka Square and the National Monument for a fuller civic tour of central Jakarta.
• Traffic near the monument can be heavy - plan transit time carefully and use MRT/BRT where possible to avoid long delays.
