First Autograph Collection Hotel in Asia Pacific Opens in Bali

Autograph Collection, Marriott International’s portfolio of independent hotels, continues its global growth with the opening of its first property in Asia Pacific.

The Stones Hotel Legian, Bali, represents the debut of Autograph Collection in the region.

“We are thrilled to introduce Autograph Collection to Asia,” said Simon Cooper, president and managing director of Asia Pacific for Marriott International, Inc. “Bali represents the ideal location to launch this dynamic new concept for Marriott International, developed for travellers who seek an extraordinary independent hotel experience. We are confident our guests will respond positively to Autograph Collection as yet another offering within the Marriott International portfolio in the region.”

Located on the southern tip of Legian Beach on the resort island of Bali, The Stones offers 308 guest rooms and 22 suites, including a palatial Presidential Suite.

Spread across three floors with a total size of 1,950sqm, the Presidential Suite features the latest in-room entertainment systems, four guest rooms, rain forest shower, stylish artwork, and many other special touches.

The focal point of the property is the 3,000 square meter pool surrounded by private cabanas.

The hotel features a wide selection of culinary offerings at three innovative restaurants: Stones Kitchen, a contemporary-designed restaurant serving European café food and beverages; Long Rice Table featuring authentic Indonesian dishes served in a casual and vibrant atmosphere with modern, Indonesian-inspired design; and Big Fish Bar & Grill, a casual poolside grill serving cocktails and snacks which transitions into an alfresco restaurant specializing in local seafood in the evening.

The hotel’s Celestine Spa offers five treatment rooms and three massage lounges. Finding inspiration in traditional Balinese massage and body treatments, the spa features natural products by Ritual Alami.

Located adjacent to one of the island’s most popular beaches, The Stones is situated 20 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport.

The Stones marks the 36th hotel to be added to the collection’s rapidly expanding roster of independent hotels in key destinations throughout the United States, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and Asia.

The portfolio is on track to include nearly 40 hotels by year end – marking an average of one property joining per month since the collection’s inception in 2010.
