About this hotel
Doulos Phos The Ship Hotel is one of Bintan's most distinctive places to stay, housed inside a historic passenger vessel launched in 1914. After decades at sea, the ship retired after holding the Guinness World Record distinction as the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship and was later transformed into a hotel. Today, Doulos Phos stands permanently on its purpose-built Anchor Isle in the Lagoi area of Bintan, immediately beside Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal.
Bintan Resorts currently describes the property as having 104 cabins, with accommodation ranging from standard cabins to family and balcony suites and the spacious Master Mariner Suite. The hotel's current direct-booking site lists Deluxe, Deluxe Plus, Executive Suite, Executive Balcony Suite, Family Suite, Family Balcony Suite and Master Mariner Suite categories.
The maritime character continues throughout the stay, with the hotel's heritage experience allowing guests to discover parts of the vessel and its history. Leisure facilities include a sea-facing infinity pool, fitness facilities, spa and massage services, while dining, bar facilities and meeting spaces are also available. Its exceptionally close location to BBT Ferry Terminal makes Doulos Phos especially convenient for short Bintan getaways from Singapore.
