- The Grand Hotel is a luxurious colonial property with a family feel. Originally built as Barnes Hall, the holiday residence of the fifth Governor of Ceylon, this historic building has been transformed into a beautiful base from which to explore Nuwara Eliya. From cycling tours to the heated indoor pool, there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained!
- Jetwing St Andrews is a charmingly restored Georgian-style mansion. Bright, well-appointed rooms are smart and soothing, with crisp white sheets and pastel accents. Part of one of Sri Lanka’s most reputable family-owned hotel groups, the property prides itself on its excellent service. Choose this spot for long evenings warmed by log fires with cracking cocktails in hand.
- The Hill Club offers a wonderful escape to a bygone era, once frequented largely by English and Scottish tea, coffee and cinchona planters. Think cosy guest rooms furnished with antique wooden pieces, reading and billiard rooms, and superb clay tennis courts. This remains a members’ club, as well as a hotel, so guests are expected to dress for dinner in the Mixed Bar or Main Dining Room. One for those seeking a smart, old-fashioned atmosphere.
