When you are tired from work and need a short escape from the hectic life, go to The Stones Hotel Bali – the first autograph collection hotel in Asia managed by Marriott.

Tucked away at the Legian strip is a simple and unpretentious resort in Bali that has just opened its doors last October; compact yet spacious within, with a pool that is tiled with blue gradients and near rooms overlooking either the pool or the garden.

One of the reasons why we love the hotel is because it is very versatile. In the day, the Stones is a beach resort where families, couples and friends hang out to have a great time At night, it transforms into a party animal with dim and romantic lighting, accompanied by sexy lounge music.

The Stones Hotel has 3 restaurants housed in a big space differentiated by dividers. The Long Rice Table serves rijsttel — the Dutch-Indonesian tradition of sharing side dishes.

We had breakfast everyday in The Stones Kitchen, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. Besides a sumptuous breakfast buffet, it also dishes out a selection of western dishes throughout the day. We also enjoyed a seafood feast at Big Fish Bar & Grill, a casual poolside grill which serves a variety of fresh fish, seafood and grilled meat.

The hotel has different daily promotions for guests. On Monday, you can indulge in the Black Angus beef night at Big Fish Bar & Grill. On Tuesday, try the signature Indonesian Rijsstafel at a special rate. Local market seafood barbeque is available on Wednesday, while you can treat yourself to a complimentary dessert on Thursday. From Friday to Sunday, party at the pool bar and enjoy free flow of sangria for 2 hours at 400k.

The Stones is a hotel that combines a super convenient location (3 minutes away from the Kuta beach, and 10 minutes walk from Beachwalk), chic and modern design with a sexy vibe, good F&B establishments to provide a complete experience. It is the perfect place for travellers to retreat after surfing at the beach, or after a night of partying.
