Hotel Tugu Malang is a must-see destination by itself. Hundreds and hundreds of antiques tastefully adorn every corner of the hotel, walking guests through the heritages of the Dutch colonial era, the gradual fusion of the Indonesian and the Chinese cultures over many centuries as well as the humble beauty of traditional Indonesian masterpieces. Each of its 49 rooms and suites is designed with individual character; some have been dedicated as tributes to Indonesian art heroes of the past.
Apsara Residence at Hotel Tugu Malang is inspired by a romantic legend of a young handsome prince who prayed for a most beautiful princess to be his wife to love. The Gods finally answered his prayers, and send the most beautiful Apsara dancer from Nirvana. Apsara flew down and danced at the prince’s royal chamber over three consequent full moons, and in the end, she realized she had fallen in love with the prince as well.
This suite is inspired by the life of Raden Saleh, a great artist of the royal Javanese family and forefather of modern Indonesian paintings who lived in Java during the mid-19th century.
The suite, which consists of a beautiful bedroom and a separate living area, has a romantic air of Java in the 19th-century, with authentic Javanese furniture from the 1850s.
The original Nonya Baba culture began when young men left mainland China in search for more prosperous lives in Southeast Asia, a tradition that began more than four centuries ago. Through the years, a new culture was gradually formed by mixed marriages: a product of a fusion between the local cultures, Chinese culture, as well as the influence from the West, with the Chinese culture commonly being the most dominant influence.
The Babah Suite at Hotel Tugu Malang portrays the life of the Peranakan or “Nonya Baba” society in Malang around the 1850s with its authentic Babah style wooden-carved bed and furnitures that were signatures of the culture.
The Zamrud Suite features the traditional beauty of East Java. The five Zamrud Suites are differentiated by interior layouts, colors, decors, elegant antique beds, and curios. Albeit designed with a strong traditional East Java atmosphere, the Zamrud Suites are well equipped with modern luxuries.
This suite, located near the Apsara Residence, has a style that is best described as a more contemporary Southeast Asian Bohemian. The headboard of the low bed is a beautiful, colorful wall painting of the Apsara dancers.
