HOTEL REVIEW
ABOVE: The hotel offers a range of culinary delights at its three restaurants. The Long Rice Table takes on the Indonesian tradition of sharing indigenous plates
The hotel’s pool-facing façade is also partly
covered with flourishing vertical gardens, while the natural colour scheme of the open air restaurant adds to the organic feel of the public areas. It was absolutely key for Chng that the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is so integral to Bali could be experienced by guests. “The boundaries between interior and exterior space are blurred,” she emphasises. “For example, you’ll notice that the swimming pool tile pattern continues into the lobby floor.” Moreover, even in the privacy of their
own rooms, guests are not limited to staying inside; each room has a cabana style balcony, with a small living area and bathtub. “It’s kind of like an indoor-outdoor space,” Chng notes. “You can close the curtains – inspired by beach cabana style flowing drapes – and have a bit of privacy.”
Other extra design touches that make The Stones a little bit different include angular, kite-shaped lamps in every room, inspired by the Balinese people’s passion for kite- flying, and a wall-sized blackboard in the hotel’s Indonesian restaurant, which is filled daily with cheeky quotations and limericks. The hotel offers a range of culinary delights at its three restaurants: Stones Kitchen is a contemporary-designed space serving European dishes; the Long Rice Table takes on the Indonesian tradition of sharing indigenous plates; and Big Fish Bar & Grill is a casual poolside café. Chng and her team have certainly succeeded in giving the Autograph Collection’s first Asia Pacific hotel the unique character that typifies each property managed by the ever-expanding brand.
