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.
Following its destruction in 2009, the ruins were demolished and a new hotel, now called The Axana Hotel, was built on the old site.[1]
