Tjampuhan Hotel

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

It is on the site of Walter Spies's home 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.

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. Robert Pringle writes that Campuhan "could serve as a metaphor for Spies' life work." Tjampuhan is the older Dutch spelling of the word.
