L Hotels & Resorts’ opened its first hotel, the L Hotel Seminyak, in Bali. Located in trendy Seminyak, the 30-suite L Hotel Seminyak is newly built, owned and managed by the L Hotels & Resorts Pte Ltd. This Singapore-based hospitality management company, helmed by resident tastemaker Adeline Quek, worked with designers to conceive a boutique hotel that resonates “polished chic.” It is also a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World. The owners, a group of traders and hoteliers, together with Quek, discovered the L site by chance while holidaying in Bali in 2010. The naming of L is created for its simplicity.

The suites span three floors with 10 suites per floor. All suites are furnished with sheer white marble walls and fitted with a bespoke handcrafted piece of Balinese ceiling ornament, the main feature of each suite. The warm hues of rich timber, grays, white ivory and dashes of bright colors accompanied with sexy mood lighting and thread-count-specific linens set the stage for the quintessential boutique hotel experience. All suites come with iPod docks, LCD TV, DVD players, safe, double-lock doors and complimentary Wi-Fi.

There are also four connecting rooms on each floor with two twin rooms connected to two king rooms, perfect for families on holiday. Each guest is attached to a dedicated butler. L’s team of butlers to guest ratio is 1-1. Every floor is equipped with a Butler Station, taking care of all the guests’ needs, from in-room check-in to planning an itinerary, arranging a spa treatment, golf session, sightseeing, recommending venues for the hottest restaurant and beach club to be at sunset. L’ SPA offers therapies and wellness experiences that are luxurious, organic and authentic. The spa uses natural products like Pervonia, Clarins and house brand Langly.
