Hilton opens landmark Bali hotel
Hilton Worldwide has completed the rebranding of the former Grand Nikko Bali in Nusa Dua, Bali.
The 389-room Hilton Bali Resort is now open and set on a 40-metre clifftop with direct beach access.
This is the first Bali property in its flagship brand and third overall in the ‘Island of the Gods’.
The 28-acre resort features multiple dining venues, indoor and outdoor meeting space, four connected swimming pools, indoor tennis courts and luxury spa.
The resort has 19 private plunge pool villas with butler service.
“This opening marks our fifth property in Indonesia and third in Bali alongside Conrad Bali and Hilton Garden Inn Bali – Ngurah Rai Airport. The location makes the hotel a great base for travellers visiting Bali, and positions us well to capture opportunities from Bali’s rising inbound and domestic tourism,” said William Costley, Hilton’s vice president of operations, South East Asia & India.
“Hilton Bali Resort is a testament to the confidence we have in this stunning resort destination and our deep commitment to serving the burgeoning market of Indonesia.”
