Tugu Hotels are privately owned and designed collection of luxury art hotels born out of one man’s love and passion for Indonesia’s romantic history. Tugu Hotels’ founder, arguably Indonesia’s biggest collector of fine Indonesian art and cultural antiquities, designed these beautiful museum hotels to house his antiques and to tell the world the romantic stories and legends of ancient kingdoms of Indonesia.
Tugu Hotels & Restaurants in Bali, Lombok, Jakarta and East Java, all stand as ethereal monuments of forgotten art, culture and romance of the thousand-years-old Indonesian archipelago. This fully Indonesian experience is achieved not only through a most unique design amidst majestic landscapes, historic towns and refurbished historic buildings, but also from various cultural experiences that guests can only have in the hotels and restaurants.
What they say about us
| I've stayed in a lot of hotel and villa rooms in Bali, and other parts of Asia, and the Tugu Bali is definitely right at the top for the room Wow factor. It's large and superbly furnished in traditional Indonesian style with genuine antiques as well as contemporary furnishings, plus a large plunge pool, in a lovely garden setting. In some hotels of this caliber, the suites are set so far from the lobby that it's a longish tiring walk from the room. At least in my room it was far enough to ensure complete serenity and yet the lobby was a very short stroll. The 2 women on staff that we met were beautiful, friendly, efficient and went out of their way to be helpful. We live in Ubud so didn't look at the beach access so I can't comment on that. I've stayed at 2 of the other sister Tugu hotels, in Lombok and Malang, and if you have an opportunity to stay at any of these I would highly recommend it! |
| My favorite hotel of all time!! Hotel Tugu should be on the list of Top 10 “to do” in Malang! We stayed 5 days but still felt like there is not enough time to explore the hotel itself. It’s not just a hotel but also multiple restaurants and even a museum! Gorgeous interior, antique furnitures in every corner. You can obviously feel how much passion and love the owner has put into this project, every detail was just Perfect! Amazing staff, all speaks good English, super helpful and friendly. Meals were awesome, you gotta try their “south East Asian” Theme restaurant, there were absolutely delicious! We really loved our stay in Hotel Tugu, and recommend to anyone who is considering going there! |
| Our favorite hotel, the rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable, all the staff are very quick to serve and try to fulfill every detail of our wishes, making us very comfortable and always wanting to come back. the breakfast menu is very varied and very delicious, they serve very delicious coffee both in the restaurant and in the room. will definitely comeback . awesome services and artifacts, cannot find the better place in Canggu |
| It's my second time here. Now I bring my 3 yo son with me. Still lovely. Beautiful themed rooms, friendly staff, and delicious food. We have a safe, great weekend getaway during pandemic |
| This is one amazing hotel in the heart of Malang. Stunningly decorated and with a lot attention to details. The services are fantastic and the staff here are always helpful. The marketing manager gave a hotel tour to explain the story behind this magnificent place. From perfectly presented food, divine afternoon tea snacks to the delicious dinners, you only get spoiled in this stunning hotel! |
| Probably , the best hotel in and around Malang. Everything is perfect, the staff is very friendly and professional. |
| Full of wonderful, historic, Indonesian art & artefacts. NOT. A cookie-cutter, boring big chain hotel, but classy and terrific devices . The suites are great and a great value, and the food is just fine. |
| The Tugu Bali is so much more than a hotel. The beds are comfy, the service is impeccable, the food is fantastic... but what keeps us coming back is the heritage on display. All the artworks are of genuine historical or artistic importance. Even the food attempts to recreate pre-Puputan Bali. In a country where history is so amnesiac and change is so rapid, this makes the Tugu a proper oasis. It also doesn't hurt that there's a five-star surf break right out front |
| Been stay here for week. Very nice place for relaxing , so quiet and peacefull ... Btw my fav for breakfast here is 3 egg omelet and lava cake. |
| One of the most amazing luxury hotels definitely! The decor stunning, amazing private beach, spacious rooms and great service from the team throughout the stay! The food was delicious and perfectly presented everytime. The stay was incredible and amazing, a must do on the bucket list for all the luxury hotel lovers out there! |
| Exceptional in every respect. This hotel is equal parts museum and tropical paradise, with a never-ending treasure trove of antiques tastefully scattered across the property. The staff, service, rooms and food are all fantastic and will ensure you have a getaway you will never forget. Can not recommend highly enough! |
| Incredibly beautiful, clean, luxurious hotel with incredible individual service. An employee flew with me to Jakarta, another hiked with me through the wilderness to show me waterfalls. The food is fantastic. All in all, a dream. Be sure to book Maybe plant a tree too |
| Nice place, good ambience, historical, nice room, small, need more attention to bathroom |
| A Must visit Hotel @Blitar...very comfy vibe... service are excellent...for culinary,it has d best nasi rawon soup in town |
| Stop by here from Kediri, and I didn't regret it. Blitar so lovely, the people there super polite and friendly, I went to visit our first president grave, Soekarno, so magical.. and this hotel was all I need to complete the trip. Excellent service, warm vibes and I love their bath up, they cover it with copper! |
| I like the way the management preserving the old mansion which built in 1850 and transform it to the nice hotel and restaurant. |

SHANGHAI BLUE 1920
Towards the end of 19th century, a new history began. Among the sailors who harboured in Batavia from Shanghai, is Nko Mo San. He had a son called Chan Mo Sang who then married a woman from Batavia called Siti Zaenab. They started a small humble warong in Sunda Kelapa, known as Shanghai Tea House. Years and years after, when the Shanghai Tea House was finally closed, the beneficiary of this place saved all the building elements and its contents in a warehouse in ‘Kota’ (old town) in Jakarta. Fate brought them to the Tugu Group, where the original warong was reconstructed in Hotel Tugu Malang, and the original antique pieces were brought back to Jakarta to its original city. Hence, Shanghai Blue 1920 is now alive once again, to celebrate the wilder side of Batavia of the early days.
