Doulos Phos The Ship

Doulos Phos The Ship Hotel

A passenger liner built in 1914 and converted into a hotel after being towed ashore, now a distinctive sightseeing and photo spot on Bintan's north coast.

MV Doulos was built in 1914 and was once among the oldest ocean liners still in service in the world. For decades afterward it circled the globe as a floating book ship. After retirement it was towed to the north coast of Bintan and set up on land by the sea, where it was converted into a ship hotel and restaurant called Doulos Phos The Ship. Non-guests can visit the decks, cabins and maritime history exhibition for a fee or by spending at the restaurant. The bow faces the open sea, and watching the sunset from there is especially atmospheric. Getting there: it is about a 5-minute drive from the Bandar Bentan Telani ferry terminal, and taxis from the Lagoi hotels can take you there. Note: opening hours and charges are as published by the hotel, and stays must be booked in advance.
