Tjampuhan Hotel

Breakfast at Hotel Tjampuhan

The Tjampuhan Hotel is a historic hotel in Ubud, on the island of Bali, Indonesia.[1]

It is on the site of Walter Spies's home[2] who was instrumental in establishing both Bali's modern art scene and its profile as an international tourist destination in the mid-twentieth century. The Spies house was built as a "studio cum residence cum hotel" and now forms part of a larger set of hotel villas owned by the family of Cokorde Gde Agung Sukawati.[3]

Campuhan means the "confluence of two rivers" in Balinese and also refers more generally to the area around this point in Ubud. The hotel overlooks the River Oos.[4] Robert Pringle writes that Campuhan "could serve as a metaphor for Spies' life work."[5] Tjampuhan is the older Dutch spelling of the word.
