"The handsome and distinguished Legian Bali, a classic five-star hotel, gets repeat guests galore. Hendra Hadiprana’s architecture might seem a little hard-edged and dated when you very first arrive past the high gates, but step inside and you'll be taken with the elegant teak antiques, parquet floors, and captivating art, all mapped out by the late interior designer Jaya Ibrahim. With a prime beachfront position, a show-stopping split-level swimming pool, and rolling gardens with tropical flowers, the grounds are all-out incredible. The 67 suites, grand as ever, follow suit with huge marble bathrooms with his-and-hers sinks, tubs and showers, and Acqua di Parma toiletries." - Chris Schalkx, Juliet Kinsman
"Set the scene for us. What's the general vibe here?The handsome and distinguished Legian Bali, a classic five-star resort, gets repeat guests galore. Hendra Hadiprana’s architecture might seem a little hard-edged and dated when you very first arrive past the high gates, but step inside and you'll be taken with the elegant teak antiques, parquet floors, and captivating art, all mapped out by the late interior designer Jaya Ibrahim. Is there a good story behind the place?Opened in 1996 by the late Indonesian businessman Robby Djohan, The Legian has since grown into Legian Hotel Management (LHM), a larger conglomerate. Still, the flagship has managed to maintain the feel of an independently owned hotel. You'll feel centuries-old heritage in a polished context. Got it. So how about the accommodations themselves—from the lobby design to the bedrooms and bathrooms?With a prime beachfront position, a show-stopping split-level swimming pool, and rolling gardens with tropical flowers, The Legian's setting is all-out incredible. The 67 suites, grand as ever, follow suit with huge marble bathrooms with his-and-hers sinks, tubs and showers, and Acqua di Parma toiletries. Across the road, The Club's 11 little villas, a favorite among honeymooners, have four-poster beds and outdoor bathtubs. Once you're settled in, you probably want a bit of a bite to eat. Anything good on site?Plenty of great options. If you like seafood, there's a fine-dining extravaganza on Fridays. Guests at The Club have their own poolside Lounge, which serves Indonesian dishes. How do the staff treat you?The service is flawless. Who else are you likely to see here?CEOs and their spouses and well-to-do families from all over the world. If we feel like venturing beyond the hotel grounds, what's the surrounding neighborhood like?Seminyak, for all its crowds and traffic, also has some world-class restaurants and shops. Is there anything you'd change?The management seemed a bit formal—possibly purposefully so. You mentioned surfing. What else is there to do here?Other fun amenities: a pristine beach, pools, a gym and spa and gym, a kids' club and babysitting services, an oyster bar, restaurants, room service, and Wi-Fi. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?This hotel's reliable quality and heritage hits the mark." - Juliet Kinsman

"A multi-awarded beachfront property facing the Indian Ocean, The Legian Bali offers luxurious accommodation set in landscaped tropical gardens. Located along Seminyak Beach, it features a three-tiered outdoor pool. The Legian Bali is 15 km away from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Each room at The Legian features a 32-inch flat-screen TV, a Blu-Ray player, 2 iPods with a Bose sound dock and entertainment system. Rooms come with spacious living areas and private balconies. The bathrooms have bathtubs and double vanity sinks. Guests can sign up for yoga lessons, exercise at the gym, or enjoy some quiet reading at the library. Overlooking the beach, the spa includes a manicure/pedicure lounge and a steam room. Buffet breakfast is served at the restaurant, which also offers European dishes for lunch and dinner. The pool and ocean bars serve light meals and cocktails. Wines and cigars can be enjoyed at the lobby lounge." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"On the beach at Seminyak is one of Bali’s most stylish hotels, the Legian. This is a more contemporary and urbane take on the Balinese resort, going easy on the island atmosphere with interiors that wouldn’t look out of place in a big-city boutique hotel. And though honeymooners are of course welcome, the Legian is a bit different in another way as well: an emphasis on public spaces means you may actually find yourself in contact with your fellow travelers, rather than simply holed up in your own private villa." - Tablet Hotels
