History
Established in 1910 as the Oranje Hotel by Lucas Martin Sarkies, the property is a landmark of Dutch colonial architecture and Indonesian history. It became famous for the 1945 'Flag Incident,' where Indonesian nationalists tore the blue stripe from the Dutch flag to create the Indonesian Red and White flag, a pivotal moment in the struggle for independence. After various name changes and a major restoration in the 1990s, it now operates as a luxury heritage hotel.
