Hotel des Indes (Batavia)
Jakarta, Indonesia
Hotel des Indes was one of the oldest and most prestigious hotels in Asia. Located in Batavia, Dutch East Indies, the hotel had accommodated countless famous patrons throughout its existence from 1829 to 1971. Before being named Hotel des Indes, a name suggested by the writer Multatuli, it was named "Hotel de Provence" by its first French owner, and for a short spell went by the name "Hotel Rotterdam". After Indonesian independence it was renamed "Hotel Duta Indonesia", until it was demolished to make way for a shopping mall.
