STARWOOD Hotels and Resorts’ Le Méridien brand has returned to Bali with the opening of its latest resort in Jimbaran.
Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran features 118 rooms and suites, and is located on the south-west coast of Bali, just beside Jimbaran Bay and a short drive from Denpasar International Airport.
Guests can choose from four F&B options: fusion Pan-Asian cuisine at Bamboo Chic, handcrafted cocktails at Smoqee Lounge & Sky Bar, coffee by day and tapas by night at Latitude 8, and handmade gelato and coffee at Wala.
Other hotel amenities include a spa with six treatment rooms and a lounge, a fitness centre and health programmes, a kids’ club, a dedicated outdoor pool and Kendra Art Gallery’s exhibition space, which comes under Le Méridien’s Unlock Art programme.
For meetings and events, Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran features a glass-encased Celebration Pavilion and Bale Banjar Ballroom on the rooftop, offering panoramic views of Jimbaran Bay and the sunset. A conference centre offers 600m2 of space, state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, a business centre and creative event staff.
Le Méridien had earlier announced expansion plans for the region, with plans to launch nine new hotels throughout Asia in the next 12 months (TTG Asia e-Daily, January 29, 2013). Two openings are planned for China, and one each for Indonesia, Vietnam, India and Bangladesh.
