Fort Rotterdam is a 17th-century fort in Makassar on the island of Sulawesi. It is a Dutch fort built on top of an existing fort of the Gowa Kingdom. The first fort on the site was constructed by the local sultan in around 1634, to counter Dutch encroachments. It was the Dutch regional military and governmental headquarters until the 1930s. It was extensively restored in the 1970s and is now a cultural and educational centre, a venue for music and dance events, and a tourist destination.
Fort Rotterdam lies in the centre of Makassar. It is rectangular in shape, surrounded by a seven-meter wall. It was originally equipped with six bulwarks, five of which are still visible but the sixth one cannot be seen anymore. Inside the fort are thirteen buildings, eleven of them are 17th-century original buildings of the fort; most are still in good condition.
At the centre of the fort is a church building. Several buildings along the north and south curtain walls still exist. The buildings along the northern curtain wall were some of the oldest buildings, dating from 1686, such as the residence of the governor, residence of the senior merchant, of the captain, the predikant, and the secretary, with several storage buildings for weapons.
The buildings on the south curtain, originally used for storage, house a museum displaying local skills in silk weaving, agriculture and boatbuilding; and scale models of indigenous boats. The barracks on the eastern wall now house a small library, featuring old Dutch books that mostly belonged to Reverend Mates, a 19th-century missionary.

‘Hotel Oranje’ as the Majapahit was originally called, was constructed in 1910 during the Dutch occupation of East Java. The Sarkies brothers, who were Iranian born hoteliers, built the Hotel Oranje, adding yet another luxury property to their South East Asian hospitality empire.
Throughout the entire 20th century the hotel was expanded, renovated, occupied, sold, bought, and renamed many times. Expansions were made in the 1920’s and 1930’s with a new Art Deco flare that brought in celebrities and royalty from across the world, including Charlie Chaplin. In the 1940’s the Japanese occupied Surabaya, renamed the building ‘Hotel Yamato’, and used it as their headquarters. In 1945’, just after the war ended and the Japanese fled, the hotel was renamed once again to ‘Hotel Merdeka’, meaning ‘independence’. The Indonesian people of East Java didn’t want the Dutch rulers gaining back control after the Japanese occupation. They tore down the Dutch flag and erected their own red and white flag, taking back control of the hotel. Throughout the 1950’s until modern day, the hotel went through Dutch and Indonesian ownership, renovations, and was eventually made a National Landmark of Indonesia as the ‘Hotel Majapahit’.
The Majapahit Hotel is now an award winning destination resort managed by Accor Hotels, and will always remain an important part of Java’s rich history.
The hotel is located in the city center. That is the true benefit of staying in a historic hotel. The land was bought a century ago and the city grew up around it. Staying here gives you access on foot to many attractions, restaurants and shopping malls. If you rented a car to take day trips to the surrounding area, they do have a parkade on site. Staying in this hotel means staying downtown but still feel like we were staying in a tranquil retreat.
The hotel has vast grounds. It is a rare and unique feature to have lush gardens and sprawling square footage in the middle of the city. The Majapahit Hotel is a one in a million chance to stay downtown without a massive tower. Instead, you get a view of the modern city that has grown up around it, while staying in the calm retreat of the estate-like grounds. Around every corner we round a jungle like courtyard, romantic garden or perfectly manicured lawn.
