The Kandy House is a carefully-renovated old colonial 'Walauwa' (ancestral mansion) in the spice-growing hills that surround Kandy. Its completion heralded what the hill-country-capital has been waiting for so long: a brilliant small boutique hotel capable of offering stylish and private accommodation and attentive personal service in a beautiful natural setting. The inspired refurbishment of the 'Walauwa', with its light white interiors, polished hardwood floorboards, jackwood staircase, Dutch-style antique furniture and careful injections of colour, has been a triumph.
The bedrooms are unquestionably the finest in Kandy. The freshwater infinity pool in the garden provides an irresistible opportunity to unwind and relax under the shade of tropical trees. The wide verandas provide the perfect place to doze-away with your favourite novel. The Kandy House was once the seat of the king's Chief Minister, Ratwatte Adigar, who betrayed his king to the British in the early 19C as Ceylon fell into colonial hands in 1815. Old Ratwatte family photos and antique furniture still remain. The Kandy House was added to the Conde Nast US Traveller Hot List in 2006. Note: Children are welcome, although they must be over 12 years.
