Simply the most amazing building! Has won design awards for great architecture and rightly so! The building and communal area where you have your breakfast is an incredibly cool space. Lovely large terrace areas by both rooms and the communal area with great views of Kandy and the lake. We had a great afternoon by the pool area as well. Very friendly staff, super helpful. Would highly recommend this gem of a hotel. As of the political situation of Sri Lanka at the moment, we highly recommend that you ignore this and travel anyway! We travelled around for two weeks mid protests and petrol crisis and our trip was not in any way disrupted nor did we feel unsafe at any point in time. The protests are mainly near government buildings and are visited by families with kids, monks and students alike and does not target tourists who contribute so greatly to the Sri Lankan economy. Now more than ever, the Sri Lankan people needs us to visit so they can recover after the pandemic. Go and enjoy one of the most beautiful islands in the world which has so much to offer in terms of nature, culture, history, religious sites, smiley people and great food!
