Re-Opening marks the start of a new dining experience at Novotel Bali
Benoa! Everyone is invited to the celebration!
Novotel Bali Benoa is excited to announce the grand re-opening of its Uluwatu restaurant, new open
kitchen and Nanas Bar on October 7th, 2011 after an upgraded project completion during the 1st
semester 2011.
After an extensive renovation of its different room types during the past 3 years, the hotel has now
accomplished an important upgrade of its food and beverage facilities.
The hotel has achieved the difficult exercise to maintain its Balinese character combined with a
contemporary style offering a higher quality of comfort to its guests.
With a brand new open kitchen facilitating the interactivity between the employees and the guests, a
small restaurant for the kids integrated in the main restaurant area, six original mobile counters
allowing the team to change the setup whenever they want and adapt its offer accordingly, this
concept makes the hotel unique.
The first perfect venue to spend a relaxing day and evening is Nanas bar, the lobby bar. Here you can
have a special selection of beverages including signature cocktails, mocktails, wines and cigars as
well as bite snacks or tapas as well as wines pairing with tapas whilst enjoying the big screen
television or the live quartet band performance. With a warm décor completed by high cocktails tables,
sofa and low tables and free WiFi internet access, you will not believe you are sitting in an area with
such a warm and relaxing ambience. The bar is open daily from 10 am till midnight.
After getting your refreshment at Nanas Bar, the second place to enjoy is Uluwatu restaurant. Uluwatu
restaurant is situated inside the main building in the lobby area, right in the continuity of the main
entrance. Moreover, the open-air view on the beach, swimming pool and Penida Stage is enjoyable
throughout both breakfast and dinner.
Uluwatu restaurant’s fresh design features superb marble buffet tables, slightly transparent separating
walls, specially designed floral carvings on the columns, and of course coconut wood furniture as well
as alang-alang roof. This transformation gives a traditional yet up-to-date style made with only highquality materials.
“On-the-spot cooking” – Uluwatu Restaurant’s original release of live “on-the-spot cooking” in the
international and traditional style, provides live cooking performances for diner’s viewing pleasure. Not
only does this creates the feeling of personal involvement but also provides a learning experience of
the cooking process. Moreover, the cooking temperature must be suitable for these dishes in order to
create an absolutely superb flavor.
The restaurant capacity was expanded to cater for approximately 204 guests, and it is open daily from
7 am to 11 am for buffet breakfast and from 7 pm to 10.30 pm for buffet dinner. Our experienced
French Chef is implementing the new concepts such as Live Action stations where guests will be able
to see their dishes prepared before their eyes, in addition to Theme buffets such as “A Royal Balinese
Feast”, “Le Buffet Du Bistro” or “Ocean Treasures” that will be accompanied by exceptional live
entertainment.
Mr. Olivier Moies-Delval, General Manager of Novotel Bali Benoa also said “The purpose of this
upgrade is multiple, in addition to our commitment to continue improving the quality of all our facilities,
with its new food & beverage concept we are now reinforcing our leading position as the best four star

Medias, the owning company, all General Manager from Accor Bali hotels, our competitors in Tanjung
