History
The site
The hotel is built within the complex of the former Ambarrukmo Palace.
In 1940, the palace complex was temporarily repurposed as the Police Inspector Academy of the Republic of Indonesia, before later becoming the seat of the Government of Sleman, during Regent Pringgodiningrat's term.[7]
The hotel
In 1957, under the instructions of President Sukarno and Hamengkubuwono IX, construction started on the hotel, located within the complex, east of the palace building. The hotel's construction was financed with Japanese reparation funds following World War II.[8][9] The Ambarrukmo Palace Hotel opened on March 20, 1966,[10] managed by Tokyo-based Okura Hotels[11] and was the first luxury hotel in Yogyakarta.[12] Okura ceased operating the hotel in 1971. Sheraton assumed management in the late 1970s, and the hotel was renamed the Hotel Ambarrukmo-Sheraton, before becoming the Ambarrukmo Palace Hotel again in the early 1980s.[13][10] The hotel underwent a significant refurbishment in 2004 and reopened in 2011 as the Royal Ambarrukmo.[6] As part of the hotel's compound, the former palace's main building, called Pendopo Agung Ambarrukmo was turned into a small museum showcasing Javanese culture and the palace's regal traditions. Additionally, many of the former palace's other buildings have been repurposed as public spaces for the hotel; this includes the Gandhok Tengen that once was the residence of the princesses,[1] now serving as the hotel's spa.[14][9]
The complex was granted the status of Warisan Nasional Gedung by the Indonesian Government in 1992, making it a building protected under Indonesian law. In 2007, the complex was granted a separate cultural heritage status.[15]
Architecture
Much of the former Ambarrukmo Palace was built in a traditional Javanese style, and features a Pendopo Agung, Ndalem Ageng, Bale Kambang, Gandhok, Pacaosan and an Alun-Alun, each of them once serving a specific function for the royal family.[9] As all the buildings have functions that mirror those within the main palace, the Ambarrukmo Palace was also considered a keraton.[8] Each of the buildings feature a Javanese Joglo-style roof, and adorned with traditional Javanese building decorations like lung-lungan, saton, tlacapan, wajikan, praba, and mirong. The mirong, in particular is a decorative element that reflects of the residence simultaneously existing with the existence of a sultan.[7] The Bale Kambang, located towards the back of the compound, is unique amongst the palace's buildings due to being built with a fusion of Dutch and Javanese architecture. It was once used as a meditative area for the sultan, and its surrounding pools were used as a place of leisure of the sultan's consorts and daughters.[1][16][12] Now, the former palace buildings have been repurposed as a small museum displaying artefacts of past Yogyakarta sultans, including numerous photographs, royal batiks, and royal texts.[15]
