An unexpected surprise at Potato Head, a super avant-garde design hotel in Bali.

On our second trip to Bali this year, we stayed at Potato Head Suites & Studios again. As a high-end hotel in the area, it has unique features with its eco-friendly concept. Generally, eco-friendliness seems to be naturally at odds with high-end quality, or is just a concept. However, Potato Head has integrated the eco-friendly concept well into its design, space, and operation!

The hotel is not on the road. You enter from an exclusive path to the drop-off area. Compared to high-end hotels, the overall architecture looks more like a museum at first glance, with a red concrete facade and no other decorative materials. The hotel also has no obvious signs, and you are directly faced with an overhead building and an open atrium space. The hotel has no lobby, only an open front desk area set up in the overhead part of the building. The staff will greet you and help you check in.

The hotel has a tour about its eco-friendly concept, which I highly recommend. The hotel staff patiently and thoroughly explained the relationship between the eco-friendly concept and materials. First, the staff took us to the hotel's logistics area, where the storage room has separate sections for plastic containers for oil, plastic packaging, and various discarded plastic bottles brought by guests. These plastics will be recycled and reused. The next step is to transport them to the small tool room next door for decomposition. At the same time, local coconut shells are used to make root balls for embryonic plants, and the decomposed plastic is added with various colors to prepare for subsequent use. I believe that after this tour, you will understand why Potato Head Suites & Studios has been listed as one of the world's top 50 hotels for two consecutive years!
