History
Hotel Tugu Bali is a 'museum hotel' set on Canggu Beach (Batu Bolong) in Bali, beside the sacred Batu Bolong Temple and amid rice paddies, overlooking the sea. It was created by Indonesian antiques collector Anhar Setjadibrata — a former medical-student-turned-lawyer who has amassed one of the largest collections of fine Indonesian art and cultural antiquities in the country. Having opened his first boutique museum hotel, Tugu Malang, in East Java in 1989 to house his treasures, he brought the concept to Bali, and Hotel Tugu Bali celebrated its grand opening on 9 July 1997.
Every corner of the property tells a story: the reception is watched over by an ages-old Garuda statue; the Bale Puputan gallery evokes the 19th-century Puputan wars and Balinese royal heritage; and suites pay homage to artists connected to Bali — the Puri Le Mayeur suite honours Belgian painter Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur and his muse Ni Polok (with original works), while the Walter Spies Pavilion enshrines mementos of the legendary artist. The 21-suite hotel blends tropical luxury with a genuine, living collection of Indonesian art and romance.
