Suites are now split into three categories: group 1 is for the hotel’s top accommodation including the Roof suites of Audley, Harlequin, Terrace and Oliver Messel; group 2 includes the Dorchester and Park suites; and group 3 is the lead-in category featuring the Mayfair, Belgravia, Eisenhower, Stanhope and Deanery suites. All suites guests receive butler services such as pressing clothes, packing, shoe shining and fresh flowers. The hotel is also about to open the Parcafe

The 58-suite boutique hotel is the brainchild of PTT Family, which owns the Potato Head Beach Club in Bali as well as an art gallery, restaurants and bars in Jakarta and Singapore. The Katamama will be finished with traditional Indonesian materials such as Balinese bricks, teak and hand-made tiles from Java. Each suite will feature curated artwork, hand-picked furniture and cherished collectibles. They will all offer either a balcony, secluded garden or individual pool. Unique in Bali will be the two-storey penthouses. Each will have a rooftop garden with ocean views, a spa bath and rain shower, and dining and lounge areas with bar. Food will be taken care of by MoVida, which has five sites in Australia, while the bar, Akademi, which has been designed by mixologist Dre
Masso, will invite locals to create cocktails for guests.
