Sri Lanka Hotel Guide

Though Kandy Rooms are found in all categories, i.e. High Range Rooms, Mid Range Rooms, Budget Range Rooms, and home stay, the heart of the city of Kandy has no towering hotels. Construction of new buildings that would rise above the Sacred Temple of the Tooth isn’t allowed by the municipal council of Kandy. That is, in addition to the restrictions on alterations to the existing buildings and spaces in the immediate proximity of the Sacred Temple of the Tooth, Kandy.

Kandy, Capital of the Central Province, encompassing Kandy, Matale & Nuwara Eliya

However, High Range Kandy Hotels, Middle Range Kandy Hotels and Budget Range Kandy Hotels located in the surrounding areas on higher elevations on mountain ranges, banks of River Mahaweli bring in spectacular views of all green rings of hills and valleys with luxuriant vegetation of this gateway to the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka Holidays Kandy (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) occupies the geographically central location of the tropical island. Being situated as such, it has become the main transportation hub of the Central province: A1 main road to Colombo (west); A9 main road that runs via Matale, Dambulla and Anuradhapura to Jaffna (north); A26 to east to join the main roads that take you the eastern coast; A5 road to the south leads to Sri Lanka Holidays Nuwara Eliya and then connects to the main roads leading to the southern coast.

A9 main road runs from Kandy via Matale, Dambulla and Anuradhapura to Jaffna.

The prime real estate of Kandy facing the lake and the Sacred Temple of the Tooth is occupied by Queen’s Hotel, a British colonial building. Rest of the hotels, guest houses and rest houses are further away from the lake and the temple. Nevertheless, Sri Lanka Holidays tourists at Hotel Suisse located on the Sangaraja Mawata too enjoys a lake view, albeit an obstructed one. Then again, while the streets named Sangamitta Mw, Rajaphilla Mawata and Saranankara Road lead out of the city to connect with the roads reaching the suburbs, Aniwatta is located only 2km away from the heart of Kandy.
