Phoenix

Stevani has been my guide in this beautiful colonial hotel, the Phoenix Hotel in Yogyakarta. Originally from Borneo, Stevani has been working at the Phoenix for two years.

Built in 1918 as the private house of a local spice trader, the hotel will celebrate its centenary in 2018. A building of remarkable history, it served also as the official residence of Indonesia’s first President, Soekarno and his Vice President, M. Hatta.
