Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and PT Tiara Raya Bali International announced the debut of Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran, the latest newly built Le Méridien resort to open during a year of substantial growth for the Paris-born brand.
Le
Méridien Bali Jimbaran, combines chic, modern design with a passion
for the arts, culture and creative cuisine to offer travellers an
enriching escape on Bali, Indonesia's famed Island of the Gods.
"Le
Méridien is experiencing a year of significant growth," said
Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader, Le Méridien and Westin. "With
a refined Le Méridien brand positioning focused on unlocking the
destination and our best portfolio and performance levels ever, we
are proud to return to Bali in such an ideal setting as the
culturally-rich Jimbaran area."
"We
are excited about our partnership with Starwood Hotels & Resorts
to officially launch Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran," said Richard
Wiriahardja, Owner of PT Tiara Raya Bali International. "We took
Le Méridien brand's vision of creativity to heart: arts in different
mediums, designer furniture with stories to be told, and details in
everyday objects that induce curiosity. We are pleased to welcome
guests to explore our resort and the Jimbaran area."
Complementing
its idyllic location, Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran juxtaposes rich
elements of traditional Jimbaran heritage with sleek contemporary
elements, inspiring art, and a relaxed, understated style. The resort
features the newly developed Le Méridien Hub experience, which
re-interprets the traditional lobby into a social gathering place for
creative people to converse, debate and exchange views.
Le
Méridien Bali Jimbaran offers four distinct dining venues in a
three-story complex, including the signature restaurant Bamboo Chic,
featuring Pan-Asian flavours fused with an authentic Balinese palate
and made with organic ingredients sourced from the local Bedugul
Mountain area; Smoqee Lounge & Sky Bar with hand-crafted
cocktails, unparalleled sunset views, and soothing tunes from
resident DJs; Latitude 8, offering coffee by day and wines and tapas
by night in the hotel's Hub; and WALA, an casual spot for handcrafted
gelato and perfect cups of coffee.
Surrounded
by serene and refreshing water features, the hotel's 118 guest rooms
and suites feature modern batik motifs and striking liquid art
imagery by German artist Markus Reugels. Ground floor guest rooms
open directly onto a uniquely designed 1,300 square meter organic
form saltwater lagoon pool.
Le
Méridien Bali Jimbaran provides the perfect backdrop for a range of
events, from weddings to corporate functions. Located on the rooftop
level, the glass encased Celebration Pavilion and Bale Banjar
Ballroom affords panoramic views of Jimbaran Bay and its famous
sunsets. A modern conference center provides 600 square meters of
multi-purpose space, state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, a
business center, and creative event staff.
Other
amenities include Serenity, a rejuvenation spa with six 'Experience'
treatment rooms and a lounge; a well-equipped fitness center with a
variety of health programs; and J Kids Club that keeps young guests
engaged with an array of activities, discovery programs, and a
dedicated outdoor children's pool.
In
addition, hotel guests will be welcomed at Kendra Art Gallery's
exclusive exhibit space, as a partner of Le Méridien brand's UNLOCK
ARTTM program.
Located
on the southwest coastline of Bali, Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran is set
by the pristine white sands of Jimbaran Bay, a secluded, tranquil
locale that once housed a small fishing village. The famous Jimbaran
Bay transforms itself at night as the world famous beach-side cafes
cook up fresh seafood. A short drive from Denpasar International
Airport, the hotel is situated near many of the island's natural and
cultural attractions, including the majestic Pura Uluwatu, one of
Bali's most sacred temples.
