This monumental building was built as the city residence of Baron van Brienen, who also owned country estate Clingendael, and has been a hotel since 1881. The building style is eclectic, the fronton features the coat of arms of Batavia. The stairways in the entrance hall and the main foyer were renovated in 1902. Before the restoration, the current entrance hall was a ‘porte-cochère’, a gate through which you could drive your coach into the castle. The present-day foyer used to be a courtyard where the coaches could turn around. A host of celebrities have stayed here, including the South-African President Paul Kruger, the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who died in the hotel in 1931, Sir Winston Churchill and pop star Prince.
