Aston Denpasar Hotel & Convention Center is a 300-key condominium style hotel offering the largest conference and convention hotel in Denpasar with a conference hall capable of accommodating up to 2,000 people.
Halal Certification – means the kitchen, food preparations, supply chains and menus of the hotel have all been inspected and certified to confirm to strict requirements for compliance with Islamic dietary traditions.
While “Halal Certification” is still very rare on Bali where the predominant religion is Hinduism, the move by the Aston Denpasar Hotel may provide a distinct advantage to the property in securing domestic Indonesian groups and lucrative government meetings and seminars.
