The bungalows at Hotel Tjampuhan & Spa are carved from indigenous timber and adorned with Balinese artwork, fully immersed in the natural beauty and spiritual energy that defines Ubud. The hotel was built in 1928 for guests of Prince Ubud, and in the 1930s, the area became an artist colony, attracting its most illustrious resident, the German primitive painter Walter Spies. Spies’s two-story bungalow, restored to its historical splendor and available for retreats, presides over a lotus pond in the middle of the Balinese rainforest, where a meditative state is as easy to obtain as a breath of fresh air.

We have been staying at Hotel Tjampuhan for over 35 years. It is a hotel that oozes charm character and the essence of Bali that is so lacking in a lot of new modern hotels . You can feel the history of Ubud whilst gazing out at the lush gardens and hearing the sound of the river below. It was indeed the home of renowned artist Walter Spies who along with the Royal Family of Ubud ( who still own the Tjampuhan and a portfolio of beautiful impressive hotels and museums) founded the Pita Maha artist cooperative which shaped Balinese modern art. Famous actors musicians and writers made Tjampuhan their home when they visited Bali. This place has credentials. It’s an original. The Tjampuhan is located close enough to the centre of Ubud that you can walk. You have all that Ubud has to offer at your fingertips but your little piece of paradise awaits for you to relax and recuperate ready for your next adventure. You don’t want to leave the calming magic atmosphere. We have seen lots of subtle changes over the years but the management go out of their way to make sure any improvement enhances not removes the historical atmosphere whilst still maintaining all the necessary modern conveniences for a comfortable stay. You have your choice of two pools. One is a natural spring pool which is so special . The spa has to be seen to be believed. It is hidden next to the river. You are engulfed in Balinese carvings whilst soaking in hot and cold spas and sauna and steam rooms. It has treatment rooms for a beautiful massage by the river. It is a dream and not to missed. Hidden under the main pool. The staff are like our family and always so welcoming and the management team of Gusti and Astra are both very hands on and welcoming and will do anything for you to make your stay more pleasurable . The gorgeous restaurant has a spectacular view over the lush gardens and a modern open kitchen layout which serves a great buffet breakfast complete with well trained egg cooking to your liking . All presented with a smile . It is open for lunch and dinner . The food is delicious . The restaurant staff so lovely and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and all have a lovely balcony facing the gardens and river. The Tjampuhan is a unique treasure,a home away from home and brings peace to our souls and a smile to our faces. The staff are all wonderful kind people. We highly recommend this romantic, ambient historical hotel as your choice for your Ubud stay.

I booked this hotel 8 months ago two rooms and two days before my arrival my both rooms booking was cancelled saying that my credit card did not work. Which was a lie because I was using that card all over Indonesia. Also I emailed hotel asking why it was cancelled at last minute.they did not even have courtesy to emaill me back thru booking.com. Same thing booking.com customer service also did not email me back regarding this cancellation. Not a good way to do buisness. Will never recommend this hotel to anyone

Had the worst experience and decided to check out after 1 night The venue is being renovated however no effort is made to inform patrons and worse is that we though people were sleeping in the roof due to the hustling sounds only to discover it is giant rats gnawing at thatch-roof Hotel should be down graded to a 1 star until the done and reopen but I guess business is business

Fabulous historic hotel with very attentive staff. We enjoyed our entire stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is situated within a short drive to the markets. We ate at the restaurant for every meal and the food was delicious, fast and the drinks were top notch.

It was amazing, the service was a 10/10 and the room view was a paradise!!! The food is really good and the spa and swimmingpool was also amazing. I would recommend this hotel to everyone staying in Ubud. It really felt like a dream. Thank you so much <3
