The Kandy House is a carefully-renovated old colonial ‘Walauwa’ (ancestral mansion) in the spice-growing hills that surround Kandy. It is a small, boutique hotel offering stylish and private accommodation and attentive personal service in a beautiful natural setting. The inspired refurbishment, with its white interiors, polished hardwood floorboards, jackwood staircase, Dutch-style antique furniture and careful injections of colour, has been a triumph. Channa Daswatta, one of Geoffrey Bawa’s proteges and Sri Lanka’s leading modern architects, provided theecreative inspiration. The bedrooms are unquestionably the finest in Kandy. The freshwater infinity pool in the garden and wide verandas of the house provide incomparable opportunities to unwind and relax. The Kandy House is ideally located for guests to enjoy activities such as visiting the Ceylon Tea Museum, The Temple of The Sacred Tooth Relic and The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage to name a few.
