Being a pioneer 5 star hotel in Bali, Inna Grand Bali beach Hotel is the tallest building in Bali just before the local government made a ruling that no dwelling was to exceed the hight of a fully-grown coconut tree in order to appease the Hindu community and leave the Gods undisturbed.

During the early construction of Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel, Indonesia's first President Mr. Soekarno, a firm believer in spirituality and the supernatural, made the promise that he would set aside one room for the Goddess of the Sea. However, before construction was completed his government was overthrown in a bitter kudeta and the promise to set aside one room was never fully followed through.

In January 1993 the main lobby structure and the surrounding ten storey's were destroyed by a devastating blaze. Hotel guests and staff were unharmed as flames leapt from every windows and a thick black smoke enveloped the village of Sanur. It was a full two days before the smoldering ceased and workers were able to survey the damaged. Miraculously one room survived the intense fire and apart fron a little smoke damage to the walls, the entire twin-share suit remainded intact. The fate of room 327 remains a mysterious phenomenon, although numerous hotel employees and local priests believed that the Goddess of the South Sea chose her own oceanside suite and saved it fron destruction.

Continuing the amazing history behind the Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel it is said that no set of architectural plans existed for the lobby and main tower refurbishment. Instead, local paranormals were guided by what they say was the spirit of the late President Soekarno. His spirit indicated that the renovation has to be completed in a period of only eigth months and if this could be fullfilled he would ensure the continuing success and prosperity of the establichment. Over 2800 workers and crafsmen worked 24 hours a day to restore the Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel to its former glory. The entire block was renovated and modernzed using a blend of quality raw materials and resources at such a speed that allowed the property to re-open in less than a year after the devastating blaze.

Room 327 remains in its former condition and is now treated with the utmost care, preserved as a shrine to the unknown force that saved it fron destruction. Offerings are made daily in this room and visitors from around the world are free to come and witness a little piece of Bali's spritual magic. The hotels guest relation officers are more than pleasure to give visitors a tour to this room, but unfortunaltely take photos is prohibited.
