Lounge At The Kandy House

The Kandy House

The ancestral home of one of Kandy's most influential aristocratic families, Ratwatte Walauwa was built by Chief Minister Ratwatte Adigar in 1804. It is located on the eastern hills of the town on a spice estate.

This beautifully restored manor house still retains the atmosphere of a private country mansion of the British Raj while providing seclusion and serenity in a lovely countryside setting amidst a spice estate of rolling hills on the edge of Kandy. The luxury boutique hotel has nine suites set around a magnificent central courtyard.

Rooms

The bedrooms are the finest in Kandy, with four-poster beds, soft white linen, concrete-washed bathrooms and antique bathtubs. Nine luxury suites are filled with Dutch antique furniture, each with a colonial character brought to life with contemporary silks and cottons. Four poster beds are provided within each room and floor to ceiling shutter windows overlook the gardens. The modern en suite bathrooms feature showers and a Victorian bathtub.

• Deluxe Rooms are named Monkey Puzzle Sunbeam and Lime Butterfly. These are spacious rooms on the ground floor.

• Super Deluxe Rooms are the Indian Red Admiral, Cornelian and The Pioneer. These circle the atrium courtyard.

• Ultra Deluxe Rooms consist of the Black Rajah Garden Suite, Peacock Royal and Red Spot Duke Rooms. These are 3 Verandah Suites that are very spacious and boast their own verandah overlooking the front pepper estate

Fine Dining

• Guests can dine in style in the wonderful original dining room or less formally on the verandah overlooking the Kandyan hills. The daily menu is dominated with fresh local produce but the chef takes inspiration from around the world. The hotel offers 24-hour room service.

There is a stunning swimming pool landscaped into the surrounding paddy fields. The estate is a wonderful place to relax and unwind with beautiful landscaped gardens around the master house containing Roses, Avocados, Jackwood, Papaya and Sri Lankan Oranges. The nearby spice gardens can also be explored and admired. Yoga and massage are available on request.
