Hotel
Tugu Bali, pioneer in its research for quality and personal
services, has just been nominated as the first member of
Relais & Chateaux in South East Asia.
As
a guarantee of quality, this new membership sets Hotel Tugu
Bali as one on the reference in culinary art in the island.
Tugu strives to excel in its ability to combine traditional
balinese style with fine food, luxurious amenities and exceptional
warm hospitality.
Although
categorized as a luxury museum boutique hotel, Hotel Tugu
Bali offers so much more of a unique experience in terms
of cuisine, hospitality and service.
Owned
by a husband and wife who are ardent collectors of Southeast
Asian art and antiques, Hotel Tugu Bali was built to recreate
and preserve the Balinese life, culture and romance of yesteryear.
A
collection of exquisite antiques from Java and Bali blends
seamlessly with modern luxury and comforts.
The
Hotel Tugu Bali staff takes care of guests with the exceptional
beauty, grace and thoroughness for which Asian hospitality
is known. In the gourmet side, Tugu Bali presents the rare
opportunity to savor superb ancient dining experiences that
have vanished from the island's nowadays life.
The
Hotel Tugu Bali is situated by a lonely beach in the peaceful
ancient fishing village of Canggu. Twenty one thatched luxury
suites and pavilions, constructed in traditional Balinese
style, are built beside or over wild lotus ponds. All exotic
luxury and comforts are standards in all rooms, such as
oversized king beds with scattered rose petals at nights,
silvered local artisan's sunken baths, private plunge pools
and spa area, homemade natural amenities and much more.
The hotel spa offers treatments using traditional Balinese
methods and all natural ingredients such as carrot, cucumber,
yogurt and Indonesian Jamu elixirs.

Puri
Le Mayeur at Hotel Tugu Bali
The
Hotel Tugu Bali Le Mayeur Suite, with private swimming pool
and dining pavilion, is named for Adrian Jean Le Mayeur
de Merpres, the late Belgian artist who moved to the island
in 1932, married Ni Polok, a renowned Legong dancer, and
created a legacy of paintings depicting everyday Balinese
life. The villa is furnished with a canopied four-poster
made from antique Balinese pillars and matching side tables
and chest, carved by a blind woodworker in the couple's
employ. Personal effects, such as Ni Polok's loom and several
portraits of the couple, are scattered around the suite.
"Most of all, I wanted the room to capture the spirit
of how they lived,"he says.
Walter
Spies Pavillion at Hotel Tugu Bali
The
Hotel Tugu Bali Suite is built in tribute to the famous
German painter for his great contribution to Balinese art.
Other than some personal memorabilia of Walter Spies which
has been taken from his house in Java, this suite also features
private plunge pool, separate living room, Javanese sunken
bath and a private garden.
Walter
Spies, an artist who spent much of his life educating artists
in Yogyakarta and later, in Bali found fame in Indonesia,
his evocative paintings portraying an era and natural beauty
that has almost disappeared. Tribute was paid to this great
artist by building him a unique and beautiful pavilion in
Djojodipoeran (Yogya) in 1924, a time when Spies was still
actively teaching young musicians and painters in Yogyakarta.
The colonial style architecture of the Walter Spies Pavilion
is reminiscent of his days in Yogya.
