Hotels – Kandy house
A tastefully-decorated, elegant hotel amidst a natural junglescape. The grand ancestral home of one of Kandys most influential aristocratic families, the kandy House sits on 6 acres in a quiet village area close to Kandy.
Filled with antique furniture, there are nine suites set around a central two storied courtyard and a ninth room in the garden. From the veranda where guests have breakfast and dinner, the garden descends to a palm frindged infinity pool designed in the shape of a traditional paddy field.
The Kandy house was restored in a style that combines classical Kandyan period architecture with Dutch colonial furnishings and a soft, colourful and elegant finish. Large shady verandas, double hammocks and tropical lawns encourage one to find a comfortable and quiet corner to relax or read.
The Kandy House is a good base to explore Kandy and its surroundings: the botanical gardens, the Temple of the Tooth, the magnificent Victoria Golf and Country Club, and Helgas Folly.
