With magnificient architecture, upscale service and equipment, the Amandari hotel is certainly one of the most beautiful establishments of the Ubud zone. Its small size and quiet environment makes it a real haven of peace.
The hotel is situated1.5 miles from the centre of Ubud, near the Kedewatan village. Denpasar airport is 24 miles away, about an hour's drive.
The Amandari villas offer generous proportion and impeccable comfort whether they have one or two floors. All of them look out onto the panoramic view and have bay windows so that you can take full advantage of the scenery. The decoration is refined but authentic with its marble floor, wooden furnishings and traditional ornaments. There are several room supplies such as: CD (but not a television), big safe for valuables, direct telephone, air conditioner, nice walk-in closet, large, attractive bathrooms with an outside bathtub. Room service is provided 24 hours a day (everything except items from the daily menu may be ordered) 11 of 30 rooms have their own private pool.
Constructed in 1990, the Amandari is a charming establishment in a high location dominating the catchment area of the Ayung river valley. The park encompasses 11 acres and, at its heart, magnificent panoramas and peacefulness can be enjoyed. The architecture and the interior design of the buildings have been finished with special care to details of the Balinese tradition. The lobby especially creates a "wantilan", a word which means "traditional town area". The Amandari is a small sized building which consists of 30 rooms designed for relaxation. It possesses few extra facilities, but offers upscale services. For the use of the customer, it includes: a fitness centre (in a wooden stilt building, providing a bay window and a spa, overlook?ng a lake with water lilies), an attractive bookshop, a tennis court and also, on the left side of the lobby, a magnificient overflow pool, surrounded by beach chairs and umbrellas.
At the atmospheric restaurant, you can always order one of the international specialities, but the idea is to help you discover Indonesian cuisine. Actually, the cook who is from Seattle in America and did his army service in Rouen, focuses the menu on traditional Balinese specialities, he has revived some traditional recipes: These recipes can not be found in cookery books but have been passed down by word of mouth.
the baby-sitting service is free. The shuttles through Ubud are free of charge as well. There are also shuttles available for airport transfer for an extra fee. The customers of the hotel are mainly Japanese and American (few Europeans). Activities such as trekking, rafting , cruising or elephant tours are offered.

Located in the heights of Bali in the area of Ubud, The Viceroy benefits from a superb location on the hillside of a valley. The view from the communal rooms and the villas is absolutely superb, just like the facilities. You will have to get use to the closeness of the accommodations and the severe lack of greenery though. A special mention goes to the food.
