Hotel Tugu Bali
Summary
Although Canggu Beach is separated from Kuta by just ten kilometres, its relaxed atmosphere and slow pace of life make it seem a million miles from the frenetic streets of Bali’s most popular tourist destination. Set against the backdrop of Canggu’s beautiful sea views, Hotel Tugu Bali is one of several hotels created by Anhar Setjadibrata, a man who has over the years created the nation’s largest collection of Indonesian fine art and cultural antiques. Setjadibrata designed his boutique museum hotels specifically to house his antiques, and to share with the world Indonesia’s fascinating and often-forgotten ancient culture. Hotel Tugu Bali is no exception, offering those that stay there the opportunity to take up residence in a building that stands as a monument to the region’s rich history.

Bale Sutra - Designed as an authentic reconstruction of a private 1706 Kang XI Chinese temple, this crimson dining room specialises in elegant Chinese Imperial cuisine as well as the distinct flavours of Indonesian Peranakan cooking. Bale Sutra is also home to the Forbidden City Dinner, one of Hotel Tugu Bali’s many theatrical dining experiences.
Bale Puputan - This intimate dining chamber has a maximum capacity of twelve, and is therefore the perfect venue for events or special occasions. Bale Puputan is decorated with antiques that once belonged to Balinese royalty, including regal armchairs and statues representing creatures from Balinese mythology.
Wantilan Agung - This a la carte dining venue features stunning views of the ocean and the hotel gardens, as well as an impressive array of Indonesian antiques and cultural relics. Wantilan Agung offers gourmet continental cuisine in addition to traditional Balinese, Javanese and Chinese favourites.

In addition, guests are invited to dine al fresco wherever they like amidst the splendour of the property’s lush garden. Several of Hotel Tugu Bali’s unique dining experiences take place in the garden, on the beach-front lawn, or on the beach itself.
Hotel Tugu Bali comprises 21 bedrooms, each one individually created by the owner to provide the perfect combination of colour, texture and atmosphere. The rooms at Hotel Tugu Bali also display a vast and varied collection of antiques from all over Asia.
