REVIVING HERITAGE: REBIRTH OF A LEGACY

A Timeless Legacy Reimagined at the Bali Beach Hotel, the Heritage Collection

DENPASAR, Indonesia, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --  Bali Beach Hotel, the Heritage Collection is celebrating its second year of operations following its landmark restoration, marking the return of Bali's oldest hotel as a premier heritage luxury destination. Bali Beach Hotel, the Heritage Collection stands tall as a tribute to the history and a manifestation of the visionary tourism development of Indonesia's founding father, Dr. (H.C.) Ir. Soekarno, also known as Bung Karno. In early 2024, Bali Beach Hotel, the Heritage Collection welcomes the revival of a rich legacy, intertwining threads of heritage and tradition into a majestic reincarnation of Bali's oldest accommodation.

Envisioned by Indonesia's Founding Father President Soekarno in the 1960s, the only ten-story hotel on the island is marked as the iconic landmark when it was first launched in 1966. Originally intended to symbolize Bali's opening to the outside world as international travel started to arise, the explicit icons of globalization became an enchanting landmark situated in the serene coastal town of Sanur, with its tranquil beaches and lush landscape. After decades of operations and renamed Grand Inna Bali Beach Hotel, this historic landmark underwent extensive restoration to revive the soul of Bali Beach Hotel and preserve its rich heritage and historical significance. In early 2024, the rebirth of a legacy, Bali Beach Hotel the Heritage Collection, sets for its grand reveal, honoring the past while embracing the future.

Situated in the heart of the 42-hectare 'The Sanur' complex, a state-owned special economic zone designed for health and wellness tourism and the first in Indonesia, Bali Beach Hotel the Heritage Collection is a five-star hotel showcasing the symbol of modern Indonesia envisioned by the nation's founding father. An elegant spatial journey that beautifully unites historical reverence with contemporary luxury from the majestic lobby to historic space, evoking a sense of timelessness in modern comforts, adjoining the tranquil tropical luxury wellness resort, The Meru Sanur.

Renowned Indonesian architects Gregorius Supie Yolodi and Maria Rosantina of Yolodi + Maria Architects keep original elements and structures while carefully integrating them with new visual experiences to maintain harmony with the original aesthetic. Enveloped in white materials, notably the Bali Beach Hotel tower, its original granite-textured and marble-painted finish signifies the passage of time. At the crown of the property is the meticulously designed tunnel-like hotel lobby. It commands spatial presence and an engaging visual journey, ensuring it does not compete visually with the original structure. The majestic reincarnation not only restores the hotel's former grandeur but also infuses it with new significance, focusing on reviving the spirit of the hotel through careful preservation, thoughtful conservation, and sensitive addition, ensuring the original design elements shine while incorporating modern touches.

Featuring 273 ocean-view rooms and suites, the hotel welcomes guests with an andesite stone mural by legendary Indonesian artist Harijadi Soemadijaja at the Soekarno Lounge. This historic masterpiece serves as a symbolic focal point of Indonesia's heritage. Designed for modern comfort, the hotel boasts bespoke facilities, including a 24-hour Fitness Center, a Kids Club, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool, all integrated with the surrounding landscape to enhance guests' experience.

Home to Indonesia's rich history, the dining experience is highlighted by Roso restaurant, where Indonesian flavor and culinary heritage are being celebrated. For casual beachfront dining, Arunika restaurant offers a mix of local and international flavors, while Beach Bar and Pool Bar serve an array of refreshing beverages and coastal delicacies. In addition, for those who seek refined sanctuary, Sutasoma Lounge offers a comfortable space for crafted cocktails and Indonesian-inspired beverages.

With an uninterrupted beach view spanning an impressive 3,750 square meters, a magnificent event venue accommodates up to 5,000 people at Bali's one of the biggest convention centers. Featuring 22 intimate meeting rooms with breathtaking views of Sanur Beach and unparalleled amenities, the Bali Beach Convention Center provides the perfect setting for memorable events, weddings, exhibitions, meetings, and concerts.

Bali Beach Hotel the Heritage Collection establishes itself as a pioneering force in elevating Indonesian Hospitality to new heights. By aligning its offerings with the rising trend of cultural heritage tourism, the hotel seamlessly weaves Indonesia's rich historical narrative into immersive guest experiences.
