OVERNIGHT IN A MUSEUM
Tugu Hotel is located in an old colonial villa in the old town of Malang. A tour of the hotel takes you to art treasures that many art collectors in Indonesia envy. There is a magnificent collection of Javanese and Chinese antiques, as well as Dutch and Indonesian heirlooms. Highlight of the tour is The Endless Love Avenue which leads to The Sahara, a giant surreal, romantic outdoor space. Especially in the evening it is like stepping into a fairy tale of a thousand and one nights.
All 49 rooms are decorated differently with bright, bright colours and dark wood floors. On the walls you can see paintings of Aspara dancers. No room is the same and that's what makes this hotel so unique.
