Hotel Gran Senyiur

Top choice in Balikpapan


Unique in Kalimantan, this old-world Asian luxury hotel proves to the younger generic business hotels that experience and wisdom count. Fine woodwork warms spaces throughout, and rooms are priced well for their five-star status. The world-class rooftop Sky Bar is worth a visit even if you're not staying.

Deluxe rooms are really just superior rooms with a useless kitchen space. For those in a suite mood, the opulent 'governor's room' has Victorian furniture, while the 'executive' gets you the same layout and killer view, with a slight downgrade in furniture.
