Cocoon 2, Riviera Boutique Hotel Ubud

Cocoon 2 shares the interior concept with Cocoon 1: no exterior windows, no balcony, and the same 23 m² for two guests. What changes is the finish, and the change is not subtle once you are standing in it.

The wall behind the bed here is dark walnut rather than white panelling, with slim cylindrical glass pendants dropping on either side and pale textured upholstery on the headboard panels. The bathroom is separated by a full-height carved timber screen instead of a single door, so the room reads as two connected spaces rather than a room with a bathroom off it. Behind the screen the bathroom is finished in warm stone: a backlit mirror, a rounded basin, a walk-in glass rain shower, and a lit niche cut into the wall for toiletries. A walnut wardrobe with open display shelving stands opposite the bed.

The room it is most often set against is Cocoon 1, which uses white molded panelling and a lattice door where this one uses the screen. For the same warmth with daylight and greenery, Garden View Room 1 opens onto a balcony level with the palms.
