Tugu Malang Hotel

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.
Mount Bromo and Mount Penanjakan National Park, internationally famous for its most magical sunrise, is a haven for nature lovers, with its volcano, craters and sand plateaus. The people who live in this area (Tengger people) are supposed to have descended from the Majapahit Kingdom roundly six hundred years ago. Once a year (on different dates in accordance to their calendar), their most popular ceremony, Yadnya Kasada, is held in a temple which was built in the vast sand plateau near the edge of the crater on the top of Mount Bromo. Mount Bromo and Mount Penanjakan are roundly 2.5 hours away from the hotel. On the way back to the hotel, you can stop at the scenic tea plantation Wonosari

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.
