Kept on Wikipedia:Hotel Timor
Hotel Timor is a hotel in the centre of East Timor's capital, Dili.
History
The current business is on the previous site of the Hotel Mahkota, which started construction in 1972 and opened in 1976. The Mahkota operated continuously until September 1999, when it was burned down by pro-Indonesian militias.
In order to be able to offer state guests adequate accommodation for the celebrations of East Timor's independence in 2002, the restoration of the hotel began. Fundação Oriente and the East Timor government shared the cost of $6 million. Guests included Lula da Silva, Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton , Ban Ki-moon, António Guterres, Mahathir bin Mohamad, John Howard, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.[1]
