The suites (that measure between 243 and 1200 sqm) have limestone walls, domed roofs (some are thatched), high ceilings, terrazzo flooring, sliding glass doors, a central four-pillar bed, sungkai wood screens, coconut wood and rattan furniture, old batik pillows, and traditional glass paintings. The seven Garden Pool Suites and seven Borobudur Pool Suites each overlook their own private pool. Bathrooms run the length of all suites and include twin terrazzo-finished vanities and outdoor sunken tubs set in walled gardens. Many of the rooms have portraits of notable Indonesian people on them or traditional carvings. The rooms range from $850–$3,500 a night, excluding 21% tax.
