If there’s something Bali’s lacking, surely it’s hotels. This is the insane reasoning that someone must be thinking, as we can expect 31 star-rated hotels to spring up on the island by 2018.
Kompas News published findings by commercial real estate company Colliers International Indonesia that 31 new hotels will be built in Bali by 2018, upping the number of rooms on the island to as many as 42,154.
These new hotels will apparently consist of 16 five-star hotels, 12 four-star hotels, and three three-star hotels—these numbers don’t include budget hotels. Of the 16 five-star hotels, seven will be luxury hotels: Mandapa Ritz Carlton-Reserve, Madarin Oriental, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, the Six Senses Bali, Rosewood Tanah Lot, Waldorf Astoria, and The Langham Place.
These findings come after the same real estate consultant shared research that the 2011 moratorium on new hotels in South Bali doesn’t appear to be doing jack.
