Hotel Suisse

The newly renovated Hotel Suisse is situated right in the heart of Kandy, set within a beautiful, white colonial-era building surrounded by lush gardens with views over the picturesque Kandy Lake. Here, classic elegance meets Sri Lankan hospitality in historic surroundings brimming with charm.

With origins dating all the way back to the 17th century, this establishment has been carefully restored to retain its original colonial style. Inside, you’ll sense the atmosphere of a bygone age in the lofty ceilings, dark wood panelling, and antique furnishings, all of which create a unique and evocative setting.

You’ll stay in a Heritage Room as standard, where the classic style is seamlessly blended with modern comforts. Facilities include air conditioning, a TV, a safety box, a telephone, tea and coffee making facilities, a comfortable seating area, and a bathroom with complimentary toiletries. Enjoy views of the garden from your window, where exotic flowers and tall trees offer a tranquil backdrop.

After a day exploring Kandy, you can unwind at the hotel’s inviting pool area, complete with a separate children’s pool. There are plenty of sun loungers and parasols, providing ample space for both relaxation and play. Alternatively, treat yourself to the hotel’s spa, where traditional Ayurveda treatments promise pure well-being, or challenge each other to a game of billiards or darts. You’ll also find a small gift shop and a children’s play area on site.

Breakfast is served in the hotel’s stylish Mountbatten restaurant, where you can enjoy the best of both Sri Lankan and Western cuisine. During the day, you might like to dine at the on-site pizzeria or savour light bites at the pool bar, while the hotel’s relaxed lounge area is the perfect spot to wind down in the evening.
