Boutique hotels and resorts in Bali cater to those looking for more than just a standard hotel room in a large five star hotel chain. Small and intimate, one gets to know the real Bali without sacrificing luxury. Unique hotels such as Sanur’s Tanjung Sari, once the only place to stay in Bali, and Ubud’s Campuan Hotel, built on the site of Walter Spies’s home, have been part of the Bali’s tourism scene for a long time.
Boutique hotels in Bali have been designed by Australian architect Peter Muller. Muller, who was the architect for today’s Bali Oberoi in the 70’s when it was still known as Kayu Ayu, perfected his vision of combining traditional Balinese architecture with a modern luxury resort. Many architects in Bali have followed Peter Muller’s style.

Bali unquestionably has Indonesia’s swankiest international-class hotels. A “star system” (berbintang) is used whereby hotels are assigned a certain number of stars to denote their class. Five-star is the highest rating, one-star is the lowest. Prices range from US$120 to US$170; suites are US$200-2500. About half the guests are European, about 15% Indonesian, 12% Australian, 12% North American, and the remainder Japanese, Singaporean, and Taiwanese.
All of these luxury hotels have the capacity and facilities to cater to all nationalities and tastes. They have huge vaulted lobbies, closed-circuit color TV in the rooms, in-house video programming, fridges and minibars, round-the-clock room service, International Direct Dialing (IDD), business centers, fax machines, laundry and dry-cleaning services, safe deposit boxes.

Finding a Good Place
Other travelers are the best sources of information. The same person who tells you that a hotel, cottage, or home-stay in this book no longer exists will also be able to tell you where another good one is.
The local policies set the price of accommodations and are also charged with collecting the tax. With the intensity of competition, particularly among the budget class of accommodations, prices are very reasonable. But no matter what class place you’re staying in, bargain. Tell the manager or front desk clerk that the hotel is out of your budget (”Taripnya terlalu mahal untuk saya.”).
The manager might be amenable to giving you a discount “if you promise not to tell the other guests.”

Bali - which has more than half the hotels in all of Indonesia - offers the best and widest range of accommodation of any region of Indonesia catering to the international tourist. They are ranging from international five-star hotels with extravagant suites costing US$600 per day to simple, homey, family-run inns with a thin mattress for a bed and a single hanging light bulb for less than five dollars per night.
All these hotels have convention facilities, swimming pools, sports grounds and a selection of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, or discotheques and beachfronts. There are also smaller cottage style hotels with modern amenities. Most unique is the long established. Above hotels and those with two stars have air conditioning, attached baths, telephones and TV.
Elsewhere in Indonesia, someone is always inviting you home to meet his or her family. But this is not the case on Bali where accommodations are so cheap and plentiful. Families are not permitted to put you up as long as there’s a hotel or home-stay in the same village. At the low end of the price scale, Bali offers some of the best value accommodations in all of Asia.
