The Legendary Hyatt Regency Bali is Relaunched After a Five-years FaceliftID
BALI,
Indonesia, Dec. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 20, 2018, the 45-year-old
Grande Dame of Balinese hospitality Bali Hyatt reopens as Hyatt Regency Bali.
When the
original Bali Hyatt opened in November 1973, it was the very first
international hotel to open on the island and a pioneer of Indonesian-style
architecture.
Once
considered the most luxurious and stylish hotel on the island the hotel had
gone through multi-million dollar extensive upgrade and modernisation. Hyatt
Regency Bali is aiming to evoke the same sense of awe and admiration in its
guests as it did 45 years ago, while maintaining the much-loved Balinese
aesthetic of the original.
"After this period of extensive renovations, we are thrilled to be able to reveal a new and improved Hyatt Regency Bali to the public," says General Manager Zulki Othman. "We look forward to greeting new guests and also welcoming back our former guests who we believe will appreciate that we've managed to upgrade all the structures and facilities while retaining the hotel's original Balinese design and spirit. We are truly blessed to occupy this incredible beachfront location surrounded by lush greenery and it's great that it can be fully enjoyed once again."
Location
A mere 22-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport,
spread across nine hectares of land, Hyatt Regency Bali is one of the largest
hotel development in Sanur, known for its gardens originally designed by the
famed tropical landscape artist Made Wijaya. Featuring over 500 plant species,
the hotel gardens have graced the pages of multiple landscaping and
coffee-table books and during the renovations, all mature trees and as much of
the plants as possible were preserved.
In addition, Hyatt Regency Bali fronts onto 500 metres of beach --
among the widest beachfront in Sanur.
Design
The overall design mimics the style of Bali Hyatt. The lobby for
example, is almost identical with Bali Hyatt's with its terracotta tiles,
chandelier, statues, and stairs. Throughout the hotel,old design elements of
Bali Hyatt are integrated in fresher, new setting - carvings placed behind
check-in desk, batik stamps from old guestrooms are repurposed into artwork at
Regency Club Lounge.
Rooms
Hyatt Regency Bali houses 363 rooms spanning 27-81 square metres,
each featuring a private balcony overlooking the lush gardens or Indian Ocean.
The hotel further includes 39 one-bedroom suites with spacious balconies up to
70 square metres in size. With a separate living room that can accommodate an
extra bed and an additional powder room with a shower, the suites are ideal for
families and groups. In addition, booking a suite include access to the Regency
Club Lounge offering a private concierge and complimentary breakfast, all-day
snacks and evening cocktails and canapés.
Drinking and dining venues
Hyatt Regency Bali showcases three open-air drinking and dining
venues, each aiming to offer authentic, competitively priced food and drink
utilising the freshest and finest ingredients available, local and organic
wherever possible. The entire resort aims to minimise its environmental impact
and the venues use minimal plastic, opting instead for paper straws, recyclable
coffee cups and bags made from bagasse (sugar-cane pulp).
Omang Omang is the hotel's all-day dining space offering comfort food
from Indonesia and around the world. Alongside views of the gardens and pools,
Omang Omang will serve a buffet breakfast, resort favourites all day and
charcoal-grilled seafood and prime cuts come evening, as well as what it
considers the best Es Campur (coconut
shaved ice) in town.
For stunning sea views and sundowners, Pizzaria is
hard to beat. The casual drinking and dining venue overlooking Sanur Beach
specialises in pasta cooked a la minute, pizza baked in
wood-fired ovens, frozen cocktails and Italian sodas muddled with fresh fruit
and herbs.
Against a backdrop of rindik (Balinese
music) musicians by day and piano accompaniment by night, Piano Lounge is ideal for a quiet
drink, casual business meeting or social gathering. Continuing the Indonesia
tradition of arisan, where ladies
congregate, a signature afternoon tea will be served alongside barista-made
Indonesian coffee and loose-leaf tea.
Activities
Being Bali, there is of course no shortage of ways to enjoy the
verdant natural surroundings. Hyatt Regency Bali offers three swimming pools
right by the beach: a Lap Pool; a
shallow Children's Pool; and a Main Pool surrounded by bounteous
overhanging bougainvillea where guests can swim through a replica of Goa Gajah -- the 9th-century 'elephant
cave' temple near Ubud -- carved out of volcanic rock.
Meanwhile, guests will feel their stresses slip away even before
they arrive at Shankha Spa, as they approach the venue via
open-air walkways surrounded by ponds. The vast complex comprises ten spa
suites -- each a mini spa within itself -- housing a treatment area, relaxation
area, shower, changing room, vanity area and private garden with an outdoor
whirlpool ideal for watsu (aquatic
massage) treatments.
Elsewhere, guests will discover a second lap pool overlooked by a
reclining statue of Ganesh; an open-air Juice
Bar where they can replenish lost electrolytes after an intense
workout; a Yoga Studio; outdoor hot
and cold plunge pools; and a relaxation area.
For the young ones, Hyatt Regency Bali offers Camp Hyatt. Once inside, kids will discover
an outdoor playground, an indoor playroom filled with toys and games, and a
programme designed to both entertain and educate with Balinese arts, crafts and
cultural activities.
Shankha Spa and Camp Hyatt are due to open on 1st quarter of 2019.
