Hotel Ambacang

The Ambacang was a hotel located in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia that was destroyed, with significant loss of life, by the major earthquake that struck West Sumatra. In the Dutch colonial era, the building was used by the Central Trading Company and the Handelsvereeniging Harmsen Verwey & Dunlop N.V. When it became a hotel, it retained the architectural style and atmosphere of the Dutch colonial period.
