The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta
The Phoenix Hotel is a renowned property in central Yogyakarta with an interesting heritage and a timeless feel - you can really imagine a classic ‘30s mystery novel being set here. The rooms are understated and cosy, the central courtyard is striking, and the classically-styled interiors are decorated with Javanese antiques and artwork. It can be a little noisy at times, and somewhat rugged in places, but that's the compromise for its sense of history and central location.
The deluxe rooms and suites are the ones we’d opt for, with balconies that overlook the central pool and courtyard providing the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast before heading off to explore the city. The open-air restaurant is a calm alternative to the plethora of dining options on your doorstep, serving a selection of Indonesian, Chinese and Western dishes. Two atmospheric bars, a spa, and a gym complete the offering at this uncomplicated but comfortable hideaway in the city.

A sense of character
Looking too closely at the finish at the Phoenix might herald a few rough edges here and there, but that easily forgiven as it all adds to its genuine sense of character and history. From its grand mansion beginnings, through its somber wartime requisition, the hotel feels somehow timeless, having skipped over potential years of remodelling that might have erased its original features. There’s a sense of stepping into its past, and a little faded charm only enhances that appeal.
