A historical landmark in Indonesia, Hotel Majapahit was built in 1910 by the famous Sarkies brothers, who also built the Strand in Rangoon, the Eastern & Oriental in Penang, and Raffles in Singapore. The acclaimed hotel, which was originally named the Oranje Hotel and designed in a traditional Dutch period style, was also known for a while as the Yamato Hotel during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia in World War II. It is best known however as the site of a major clash between the people of Surabaya and the Dutch in late 1945 when the later tried to reclaim their colonial rights following Indonesia's declaration of independence a few months earlier. It was this event - an important step in Indonesia's independence movement - that ensured the hotel's status as an historical landmark known throughout the country. Mandarin Oriental has undertaken extensive refurbishment of the two storey hotel and offers 150 luxurious guestrooms, two restaurants, a delicatessan and tea lounge. In addition, Hotel Majapahit offers fully equipped conference and banqueting facilities, outdoor pool, tennis court, health club with spa, business center and extensive landscaped courtyards. Many of the original design features of the property have been maintained, including stained glass windows, terrazzo floors and colonial-style balconies and verandahs.
