Hotel Majapahit: Hotel Majapahit Hotel Majapahit Surabaya Review

The Majapahit Hotel building was built in 1910 by the Sarkies brothers... It has been under the management of various groups in its colourful history... It was named Oranje Hotel (under Dutch colonialism), Yamato Hotel (during Japanese occupation), LSM Hotel (when under LM Sarkies), Majapahit Oriental Hotel (when managed by the Mandarin Oriental Group) and just just plain Majapihit Hotel (when the MO group leaves)...

Majapahit Hotel claims its place in the history of Indonesia when Surabaya youth (from Arek-arek Surabaya movement) scaled the hotel's squat tower and tore down the Dutch flag from the flagpole... This incident help to ignite the Indonesian freedom movement resulting in starting of the Battle of Surabaya on November 10, 1945...

The hotel has conference facilities... and F&B outlets include the Sarkies Seafood Restaurant, Indigo Restaurant, Lobby Lounge for drinks and Toko Deli for cakes and pastries... There is also a swimming pool and spa facilities...

Unique Qualities: The hotel boasts of graceful architecture, landscaped garden and courtyards... It is one of the grand hotels that the Sarkies brothers left behind and is comparable to the The Raffles (of Singapore), The Strand (of Yangon), The E&O (of Penang) and The Oriental (of Bangkok)... The rooms (or suites) are elegently furnished and service is of a high standard...
