The three-and-a-half-pearl Harris Hotel Seminyak is a chain property located in Bali's fashionable Seminyak area. It's within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife, and a 10-minute walk to the beach -- or five-minutes by free shuttle service. The hotel is bright and contemporary, and modern rooms feature flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities, while larger Unique Rooms add balconies. There's a breakfast buffet for a fee, plus a pizzeria, juice bar, and 24-hour room service. The hotel has four pools, including a rooftop pool and separate children's pool, plus a fitness center, full-service spa, kids' club, and boutique. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Travelers preferring to be right on the beach should try The Royal Beach Seminyak instead, which adds a Japanese restaurant.
Scene
Bright, contemporary hotel with a young vibe
The Harris Hotel Seminyak attracts a wide range of guests, from solo travelers to groups, with many families staying here for the children's facilities and beach proximity. It has a young, friendly vibe, though it lacks the charm of some of the more traditional Balinese villas in the area. The hotel has an open atrium-style lobby with checkered tile floors, all-white walls, and soft furnishings in the hotel's signature orange shade. The dining areas are spacious and modern with indoor/outdoor seating, and the hotel's four swimming pools are great for cooling off during the day. Each pool is surrounded by a decked area with curved sun loungers and umbrellas, and guests can sip cocktails while catching a tan. The hotel does get busy during high season, but it rarely feels overcrowded due its size.
Location
A 10-minute walk to Seminyak Beach, close to shops and restuarants
The hotel is located in the fashionable Seminyak area of Bali, directly opposite a convenience store on busy Jalan Drupadi. It's within easy walking distance to numerous boutiques, organic cafes, restaurants, and nightlife, and Seminyak Square Mall is a 10-minute taxi ride away. It's a 10-minute walk to the golden sands of Seminyak Beach, though the hotel operates a free shuttle service to and from the beach every day. Kuta Beach and Waterbom aqua park are around a 20-minute drive from the hotel, and the Potato Head Beach Club is a 15-minute drive or 30-minute walk. The famous Hindu Temple, Pura Petitenget, can be reached in 10 minutes by car. Ngurah Rai International Airport is around a 30-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Clean, air-conditioned rooms with modern decor plus free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs
The hotel's 231 rooms are bright, fresh, and minimally decorated. Style is identical across all categories, all-white walls, pops of bright orange, and contemporary photographs hanging above the beds. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, while light wood headboards feature retractable reading lights. Furniture is simple, with curved orange desks and white sliding-door wardrobes. Unique Rooms are ideal for families and groups, adding separate living areas with sofa beds, as well as balconies. Air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, empty mini-fridges, safes, phones, tea/coffee facilities, free robes, and free bottled water come standard. Wi-Fi is also free. Bathrooms are modern and tiled, and all include glass stall showers, vessel sinks, magnifying mirrors, and free basic toiletries. Guests have reported maintenance issues including underwhelming air-conditioning or faulty appliances. It's also worth noting that roadside rooms can be a bit noisier.
Features
Free beach shuttle, four pools, restaurant, pizzeria, juice bar, spa, fitness center, and kids' club

Room service is available around the clock. The juice bar serves fresh fruit juices and smoothies, while Harissimo Pizza offers freshly-baked pizza and poolside dining. The hotel has two long lap pools surrounded by decked areas with sun loungers, plus a small rooftop pool that has views over Seminyak. There's a separate children's pool, plus a play area called Dino's Kids' Club. Adults can relax at the full-service spa, or work out at the fitness center -- though it's small and only has cardio machines. There's also a 24-hour business center in the lobby, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. There's also a boutique. The hotel offers a free daily shuttle service to and from the beach, but airport transfers and taxis cost extra.
