“Elegant Hotel sits comfortably outside Kandy's bustle, and that's its charm. The setting atop the hills brings views that are genuinely special, along with gardens and a serenity that city hotels simply can't match. I think it's a particularly good choice for families or anyone prioritizing a peaceful escape with some Sri Lankan character.”
