Hotel in East Timor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hotel Dili is a hotel on the waterfront in Dili, East Timor, established in 1933. It was purchased by Australian Frank Favaro (1935-2000) in 1971.[1] In 1975, Favaro harbored six Australians at the hotel during a battle, part of the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, although they were said to "consistently refuse offers of evacuation."[2] The "concrete structures of the Hotel Dili were deemed almost impervious to assault."[3] The hotel had to be evacuated at one point due to an attack. Jane Nicholls describes the hotel as "wacky" and "East Timor's own Fawlty Towers."[4][5]
