"Sri Lanka’s hospitality scene is blessed with plenty of variety in both landscape and style — longtime readers will know that it’s got some very fine modernist beachfront boutique hotels, but it’s also got something close to the polar opposite. W15 Hanthana Estate Kandy is set in the mountainous interior of the island, surrounded by verdant hillsides and tea plantations, and aesthetically it’s as pure an example of colonial-style elegance as you’re likely to experience, its bungalow-style buildings wrapped in verandas and columns, its guests ferried from the rail station to the estate in a robin’s-egg-blue vintage Land Rover." - Tablet Hotels
