Our Rating: First Class
Tugu Malang
Malang
A wonderfully unique hotel located in the heart of the old town.
Of the 49 rooms, the 10 individually appointed suites (including arguably the most spectacular room in Java - the Apsara Residence) have a character all to themselves with artefacts from the owners priceless antiques collection displayed for you to enjoy.
The lead in rooms, superior deluxe, are pleasant if small. The executive deluxe are larger and have a private balcony. These two categories are found on all three floors but we request upper floors for better views (as the hotel has no lift please let us know if this may be a problem).
A small but refreshing swimming pool is set in a beautifully manicured garden courtyard, while the spa and gallery are of the highest quality. Food plays a major part of any stay.
When the sun sets behind the mountains of Malang, sit back and enjoy a special blend of Java tea and coffee and experience the traditional Javanese cakes at Tugu Tea House. Next to the Melati restaurant, the atmospheric Waroeng Shanghai 1920 bar serves specialty, luscious cocktails.
A private candlelight barbecue dinner under the stars is available at the poolside, or for elegant, private dining, the Raja Room (the Sugar Baron Room) brings back to life the colonial grandiose of Java in the end of 19th century.
