 An
elegant High Tea on a manicured lawn; sip a stiff brandy by the blazing
fire after a round of golf in the chill air. Is it England in the Days
of the Raj? It may be the 21st century, but colonial splendour still
reigns in all its past glory at the Grand Hotel. Built in 1891, this was
the palatial residence of the former Governor of Sri Lanka, Sir Edward
Barnes; today we offer the ultimate in comfort and the best of
traditions from the ‘good old days’ to all who seek the charms of our
famed hill country landmark.
Accommodation: Old world charm
and elegant comfort welcomes you in the 156 deluxe and superior rooms,
with peaceful views of misty hills. Superior luxury awaits in 3
Presidential Suites and 4 Junior Suites. From there, you can admire the
beautifully laid out, award winning gardens where rare roses bloom. Hot
baths and warm heating will keep you cosy in the cold nights, and with
24 hour room service at hand, a steaming frothy cocoa is yours, even
past midnight.
Facilities:
Our
setting maybe colonial, but our amenities are definitely modern – with
cable TV, Mini Bar, high speed internet access and IDD phones including
the standard hotel services from laundry, safety deposit boxes and
currency exchange to concierge; 24 hour reception and room service.
There’s a health centre and a small shopping arcade and Tennis for the
more active; and of course the famed Golf Course, right opposite the
hotel. We offer banquet and conference facilities for up to 200 guests
and a Business Centre for the corporate traveller. With the charming
traditional atmosphere and the extensive gardens, we are also the
popular choice for local weddings.

Dining:
Here, a truly magnificent and extensive array
of gourmet cuisine from the west and the east is yours to
indulge in. The expansive Main Restaurant (Barnes Hall)
offers equally vast buffets – breakfast, lunch and dinner
with show kitchens that create your choice of fare to
perfection. Offering both Western and Eastern menus, its
reputation is legendary. The Supper Club Bar offers a
headier atmosphere with music and dancing, while the Lounge
is more intimate, with a la carte meals. (??) The Coffee
Shop with its blazing hearth serves light meals and snacks
throughout the day. At nightfall, slip back a century or
more at the Traditional Bar for some fine old malt and a
game of Billiards while a hearty log fire looks on. Enjoy a
unique dining experience at The Grand Indian Restaurant,
with authentic time-honored dishes.
