COLONIAL DELUXE HOTEL | 156 STANDARD ROOMS | 65 DELUXE ROOMS | 6 SUITES

The Grand Hotel in the hill station Nuwara Eliya has a heritage exceeding a 100 years. The former residence of Sir Edward Barnes, Governor of Sri Lanka from 1830 to 1850 and the Grand Hotel is an excellent example of a mansion from the Elizabethan era. It retains the stateliness and grandeur of a Colonial Mansion and rightfully claims its place as one of the best hill country hotels in Asia.

Like a misplaced bit of Europe set in the centre of a tropical island, the hill country resort town of Nuwara Eliya nestles in a cradle formed by three mountains at an elevation of 6,182 feet (1,884 meters) above sea level. Known as “Little England” or “Switzerland of the East,” it is situated 170 km. east of Colombo in the Central Province. Carpets of fragrant green velvet tea cover the hills, while majestic waterfalls tumble down from their source high in the mist-shrouded mountains.

Tudor style architecture and Victorian homes set amidst Boxwood and Firs overlook the calm waters of Lake Gregory, flowers bloom in parks and gardens, hunting and fishing trophies decorate the walls of old buildings transporting you back in time to the tranquillity of a bygone era….

ACCOMMODATION

When your eyes grow heavy with sleep, retire to your bedroom which presents an air of gracious elegance. As you lie beneath soft blankets and cocoon yourself in a circle of warmth, listen to the swish of the fir trees as they dance in time to the whistle of the winds outside your window.

The laid back, languid and luxurious lifestyle of yesteryear still prevails on the slopes of the island’s hill country, and is reflected in the furniture and fittings of the Grand Hotel.

156 Elegantly furnished rooms including 3 Presidential Suites and 3 Deluxe Suites overlook the magnificent, award-winning gardens of the Grand Hotel filled with beautifully laid out beds of flowers.
