Queen’s Hotel in Kandy is truly one of a kind. The location is unbeatable—right by Kandy Lake and just a short walk to the Temple of the Tooth and the city center. The building itself is full of history and colonial charm, which makes the whole experience feel special.
The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-kept, with air conditioning, good bathrooms, and some even with balconies overlooking the lake or city. The pool area is a great place to unwind, and the gardens and terraces give a relaxing atmosphere away from the busy streets.
Dining options are excellent—the Queen of Hearts restaurant serves a wide range of cuisines, the Empire Café is perfect for coffee and light meals, and the Lord Mountbatten Lounge Bar and Pub Royal offer a classic colonial feel with good drinks and snacks. Breakfast is varied and fresh, with both local and international choices.
The hotel also has great facilities for events, with banquet halls, meeting spaces, and even a business center. There are convenient extras like a beauty salon, souvenir shop, and concierge/tour desk for arranging activities.
Most of all, the staff make the stay memorable—they are friendly, professional, and always ready to help. From check-in to check-out, service feels warm and welcoming.
If you’re visiting Kandy, this is the perfect place to stay for a mix of heritage, comfort, and convenience. Highly recommended!
