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. In 1975 Favaro harbored six Australians at the hotel during a battle although they were said to consistently refuse offers of evacuation. 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.
