History
Originally known as Jambe Dawe,[1] the building was originally constructed in 1891 as a villa for Martin Sarkies, one of the Armenian Sarkies Brothers, who were also the founders of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang.[2] During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, the building was used as a Japanese army basecamp and an armory, while during the subsequent Indonesian National Revolution, it became an Indonesian army base and soup kitchen before briefly reverting to Dutch control.[1]
The building was renamed Kartika Wijaya and opened as a hotel on November 18, 1986.[3] The hotel has 115 rooms[3] and its interior is decorated in Art Deco style with Javanese accents.[1]
