HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Malang, a city awarded as the loveliest town in South East Asia during the colonial times. Until this date it has remained one of Indonesia's most beautiful cities, drifting along in an air of nostalgia. It is where old Dutch planters and civil servants used to retire to a life of ease and luxury, surrounded by hilly apple and tea plantations. It is also the departure point for an early morning trip to the magnificent Mt. Bromo.
Tugu Malang is located at the heart of the old town, looking out to the main monument of Indonesia's struggle for independence and a beautiful lotus pond park.
Tugu Malang houses a vast, priceless collection of antiques influenced by the Javanese Babah Peranakan (the hundreds-years-old mixed culture between the Chinese migrants in Java and the native Javanese). Tugu Malang is more than just a hotel; it has become most indigenous, most essential in experiencing the beautiful richness of the history of Java.
This masterpiece suite is dedicated to honor King Jayawarman II from the end of the 8th century and also King Suryawarman II who built Angkor Temple in Cambodia at the beginning of the 12th century.
The history describes Jayawarman II as a young prince who came from Java and built a powerful kingdom in Cambodia at the end of the 8th century. Four hundred years later, Suryawarman II built the Angkor Temple in Siem Reap and carved 2000 Apsara dancers on its walls.
The legend describes a young prince from Java at the end of the 8th century. The prince, during his deep meditations and prayers, always asked for the most beautiful dancer to be his queen to love. His meditations and prayers vacillated the heaven, and being unable to stop the prince's meditations, these Gods asked the Chief of God to grant his prayers.
The Chief of Gods sent the most beautiful Apsara from heaven to persuade the prince. She danced for the prince during three full moons, behind the clouds and the shadow of the moon. When the third full moon finally ended, Apsara had fallen in love with the prince and decided to remain on the earth besides him, although she realized she couldn't return to heaven forever.
The Apsara Residence symbolizes this romantic legend as well as the history between Indonesia and Cambodia in the old days.
When the sun sets behind the mountains of Malang, then sit back, enjoy their special blend of Java tea and coffee and experience the traditional Javanese cakes at Tugu Tea House. Next to the Melati Restaurant, the atmospheric Waroeng Shanghai 1920 Bar serves specialty, luscious cocktails. A private candlelight barbecue dinner under the stars is available at the poolside, or for elegant, private dining, the Raja Room (the Sugar Baron Room) brings back to life the colonial grandiose of Java in the end of 19th century.
