The Ambacang was a hotel located in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia that was destroyed, with significant loss of life, by the major earthquake to strike West Sumatra in 2009.

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 built on the site.
