BABYLON
TEXT - SUSHMA PHERAI I PHOTOGRAPHER - PETER NANDEN
Tucked away between two fashion shops in southern Paramaribo
is the marvelously designed and modern hotel Babylon.
Owner Joerawan, who has had years of experience in the hospitality branch in Amsterdam,
explains that every inch in the hotel and restaurant is designed to enhance the experience of
comfort and luxury. Just by entering the building, with 24 hours security, you are surrounded
by a harmonious blend of industrial materials, tree trunks and wooden tabletops, creating a
modern yet cozy feel. The solid tropical timber is reflected throughout the interior of the hotel
and its rooms. Hotel Babylon features 26 deluxe rooms and suites ranging from standard rooms
with minibar and coffee/tea facilities to luxurious suites for families or couples with completely
equipped kitchen and fridge. The rooms are designed with all modern conveniences such as
broadband Wi-Fi, cable TV and safety box. The crowning glory of the building are two elegant
spacious and rooftop penthouses with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a magical panorama
view of the city of Paramaribo. In house restaurant Atlas is designed with the same attention
for detail and harmony as the rest of the hotel. The chefs are trained overseas, presenting
international cuisine which varies from French, Italian and Arabic to Japanese.
Situated at the heart of the hotel is the swimming pool surrounded by comfortable couches
and cabanas where you can enjoy the sun during the day and the tropical breeze at night. The
hotel has parking facilities and is at walking distance from the Hermitage Mall, TBL Cinema,
Supermarkets, a gas station and an ATM. Hotel Babylon offers all travellers, from families
to businesspeople, the luxury and comfort they need during their stay in Surinam for a very
reasonable price.
