The Kandy House is a smart and comfortable boutique hotel with only nine bedrooms, more akin to staying in a private home. Located just outside Kandy it offers a cool and stylish refuge from the bustling city.
There are beautiful gardens set within a six-acre estate, brimming with flowers and hummingbirds, which flit around as you have breakfast. With a pretty swimming pool, wrap around verandas and delicious food it is one of the best original properties in Sri Lanka.
It’s elegance, charm and impeccable service.
The nine rooms are named after Butterflies which thrive in Sri Lanka and are styled individually incorporating local fabrics, elegant furniture of various generations and modernized amenities.
Ultra Rooms (Red Spot Duke, Peacock Royal, Indian Admiral and Black Rajah) have access onto a veranda with chaise longues, reading chairs, table and other antiques, ideal for more private dining and relaxing and each room is designated a personal butler to cater to all your requirements. Deluxe Rooms (Sunbeam, Cornelian, Monkey Puzzle, Pioneer and Lime Butterfly) are a little smaller but all other amenities and standards of furnishing are to the same high standard. The hotel has delightful gardens and a refreshing swimming pool in which to relax after a long journey or a day exploring the surrounding area.
At The Kandy House find time to just stretch out and enjoy the infinity pool overlooking the luscious paddy fields. There are board games, DVD’s and an eclectic collection of books to read.
Lift your head to spot numerous birds and butterflies in their natural habitat, or pick up some of the art materials if you are inspired. They have some bicycles to be a bit more adventurous or take a walk to nearby temple and paddy field. Challenge the staff to some Cricket if you’re feeling strong enough, or enjoy a massage or yoga session in the breezy Ambalama. Day trips into Kandy can also be arranged.
