Asia - DPS Airport Pre-Immigration Meet-and-Greet?
The Intercontinental provides this service and offers their own pre-customs lounge.
I believe the St. Regis Bali offers a similar service, at least it's mentioned as included in the rate descriptions there though I haven't been to the property.
Are there other hotels that provide the service, or companies that do it on a one-off basis?
Thanks!

gleff, as a matter of fact, your post (amongst others) has inspired me to pick InterContinental Bali's Club room as my choice of stay in Bali this coming Sunday, and with the expectation of an upgrade as a Classic AMB. ^

Any hotel can arrange this.
Even local drivers can pull this off. Well, the drivers experienced with VIP travelers that is. The office just past the secondary bag screener, sorta kitty corner to bag claim and just before you pass along your declaration cards.
The $$$$ depends on who asks and what hotel. The higher end places can send a hotel rep and get dinged in the ballpark of 100K IDR, the everyday folks get the airport service for about 30K IDR.
In light of full disclosure, it has been 6 months since I have used this as $$$ may have upped a bit. Of course you will be asked for MUCH higher, which is always part of the game :)
