The Hotel Timor is a hotel in the center of East Timor's capital Dili ( Suco Colmera ) on Avenida Nicolau Lobato .

history

Construction of the hotel, which was initially called Mahkota , began in 1972. It opened in 1976 and remained in operation until September 1999 when it was burned down by pro-Indonesian militias . Before that it was the leading hotel Dilis.

With the independence of East Timor, the restoration of the hotel began. The Fundação Oriente and the East Timorese government shared the costs. Today the two-story hotel has 88 rooms and suites, a restaurant, a café, three conference rooms and a swimming pool and is once again one of the top addresses in Dili.
