Legian hotels are in a neighbourhood that not so long ago was fertile rice paddy. Now Legian is a bustling tourist destination dotted with hotels, designer shops and restaurants. These days it's hard to tell where Kuta ends and Legian begins but to simplify things a bit, and for all intents and purposes, once you pass Jl. Melasti heading north you enter into Legian. Keep heading north until Jl. Dhyana Pura (once past Jl. Dhayan Pura you enter Seminyak).

Legian has fewer nightclubs and bars and is thus a bit quieter than Kuta. As well the hotels and resorts here tend to be smaller, mid sized, locally owned and managed properties with fewer facilities than found in the larger international chain hotels elsewhere. Yet that said, Legian hotels tend to be a bit more expensive than their counterparts in Kuta and often refer to themselves as 'boutique hotels'.

FYI, hotels in Legian are listed by default in order of popularity (based on guest reviews). You may also organise alphabetically, by price or star rating. Bali Hotels does not favour any hotel for any reason.
