HOTEL TUGU BALI
Owned by an ardent collector of Southeast Asian art and antiques, Hotel Tugu Bali was built to bring back to life the luxury and romance of Balinese and Javanese forgotten history.
A collection of exquisite antiques from Java, Bali, and the Far East blends seamlessly with modern luxury and comforts. There are close to 1,000 pieces of antiques
adorning each corner of the property, not only to be admired for their beauty, but to live with.
The Hotel 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 near or over wild lotus ponds.
Hotel Tugu Bali's architecture and interior reflect the art, culture and history of Indonesia in general and Bali in particular. The Wantilan Agung Lobby (Grand Ceremonial House) houses an art gallery featuring Anhar's exclusive collection of historic Indonesian artwork, antiquities and cultural artifacts. Wantilan Agung is decorated with wooden Boma Heads (mythological giant guardians) on the top of crossbeams, and columns inspired by the ancient ceremonial house in the ancient village of Bayung Gede. Among the antiquities displayed here is the precious Cupu Manik. The main entrance leads to the resort's 22 rooms and suites, amidst tropical gardens and a tranquil pool of wild lotus.
No rooms are exactly the same like one another; however, all has exotic luxuries such as oversized beds with scattered fresh petals at nights, silvered local artisan's sunken baths, private plunge pools, 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..
Among Hotel Tugu Bali's artistic and cultural highlights are a 4.9-meter tall wooden giant Garuda carved from a 120-years-old tree; guardian statues from the 12th century; a 150-year-old wooden well; an immense 19th century marble table; two suites built in memory of distinguished individuals who contributed to the art and culture of Indonesia; a vast collection of Indonesian art located throughout the resort and in its exclusively gallery; a 19th century meeting room decorated with royal antiques and other works commemorating Bali's greatest heroes; and Bale Sutra (The Palace of Harmony), an elegant dining room recalling an 18th century Kang Xi period temple.
