The 67-room Hotel Tjampuhan & Spa is an upscale, quiet, historic property with Balinese carved masonry and a location near the Ubud sights. The property offers two outdoor pools, a spa with a grotto, and on-site dining and cocktails. There is also currency exchange, 24-hour front desk service, and a business corner on-site. Traditional Balinese rooms -- including painter Walter Spies' former residence -- offer flat-screen TVs and balconies, overlooking the forest. However, rooms don’t have Wi-Fi and some also lack air-conditioning. The Puri Gangga Resort, with more in-room amenities, is another option.
