Starwood Opens Sheraton in Kuta, Bali

Starwood has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Indonesia with the opening of the Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort on Kuta Beach.

Set on a total area of 5.2 hectares of development, the hotel is located directly at the heart of Kuta beach.

Owned by PT. Indonesian Paradise Island, the Sheraton in Bali is part of beachwalk – a shopping destination, presenting over 200 retail outlets in an open-air style and designed architecture inspired by the design of Bali’s rice paddy field.

Centrally located at the heart of Pantai Kuta and just 5 kilometers away from Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), the resort’s elevated position on the island provides ocean and beach views.

“We are delighted to welcome our iconic Sheraton brand to Bali. The opening of Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort sets Starwood on track to become the hotel management company with the largest number of brands represented in Bali,” said Chuck Abbott, Regional Vice President, Southeast Asia, Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort together with the new development of beachwalk offer guests an all-around experience – whether it is for business or leisure, for a family holiday or a honeymoon getaway.”

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort features 203 guest rooms and suites ranging from 46 to 265 square meters, each fitted with the signature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed and a private balcony with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean or the resort’s signature social courtyard.

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort also features a signature two-story Oceanic view Presidential Suite with contemporary approach of Balinese interior and private sundeck lounge.

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort houses three dining venues where travelers can enjoy Sheraton’s signature restaurants – the all-day dining Feast with its vibrant open-kitchen, located alongside beachwalk patio overlooking the Kuta Beach, or indulge at Bene - a light-hearted Italian trattoria with oceanic setting, where guests can also relish views of the Bali Strait on the rooftop deck level. The Lounge offers a locally inspired cocktail menu, with open-air setting and Indian Ocean scenery.

To keep travelers fit and energized, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort features a Sheraton Fitness by Core Performance with lifestyle designed training programs and encompassing a fully equipped fitness center. A Shine Spa for Sheraton promises to pamper and rejuvenate guests with signature treatments blending from the East to the West with local Balinese touches.
