Scene
A modern hotel featuring traditional Balinese decorations, a huge freeform pool, and a stunning courtyard lounge
One of the hotel's best qualities is its sense of space and openness, which is a quality that's hard to find in most similarly priced hotels in densely populated Kuta. The hotel entrance features a traditional Balinese stone gate which leads into an open Balinese-style gazebo made of teak wood that serves as the hotel lobby and features elegant marble floors, carved limestone panels, comfy couches, a check-in and tour desk, plus a computer for guests to use. Outside is the huge courtyard area shaded by a stunning Banyan tree. The Padmi Lounge is set within the picturesque courtyard setting under the towering tree. Plenty of comfy chairs are set up in the courtyard and the space feels relaxed, breezy, and far removed from the busy streets nearby. The pool in the back of the hotel is in a quiet area surrounded by greenery and a large wooden sundeck. There is a swim-up bar, plenty of lounge chairs to relax on, and enough space that it doesn't get overcrowded. The overall aesthetic and decor of the hotel showcases a combination of Balinese and Western features, and there are detailed Balinese decorations, statues, and artworks on display throughout. The hotel is often quiet during the day, with most guest out shopping and dining at the nearby locales or relaxing on Kuta Beach.
Location
On the outskirts of downtown Kuta, and a 20-minute walk from Kuta Beach
The hotel is located along a small bustling road on the outskirts of downtown Kuta, about a 20-minute trek from most of Kuta's main attractions. The nearest dining areas and places of interests to the hotel are along Kartika Street, which is around 10 minutes away on foot and features lots of dining, shopping, and nightlife options. Also located along Kartika Street is the Discovery Shopping Mall and Waterbom Bali. The ever crowded Kuta Beach is around a 20-minute walk from the hotel. This long white-sand beach is ideal for novice surfers as the waves break over a soft sand bottom. Surf schools and local vendors along the beach offer lessons and board rentals. Legian Street, which features Bali's wildest nightlife scene and some of the biggest nightclubs on the island, is around a 25- minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located less than a 10-minute drive from the airport, making it a popular transit hotel.
