Earl's Regent Hotel

Kandy, Sri Lanka

Earl's Regent Hotel is a four-star, 80-room hotel at Peradeniya on the western side of Kandy, run by Earl's Hotels, with a pool, spa and gym. It is a practical base for both the Peradeniya gardens and the sights of central Kandy, and is popular for weddings and events thanks to its banquet hall and outdoor function space.

What are the rooms like at Earl's Regent Hotel?

The 80 rooms come in four categories. Every one has a rain shower, a private balcony or terrace with chairs, a television, a minibar, free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee making facilities, a telephone and an iron with an ironing board. The names below are the hotel's own.

  • Deluxe Room – 236.8 square feet (about 22 square metres) with a choice of king-size or twin beds, for a maximum of two guests. The hotel recommends it for couples.
  • Super Deluxe Room – 290.8 square feet (about 27 square metres), air-conditioned, again with king-size or twin beds, and sleeping up to three guests. There are 12 of these rooms, and the hotel suggests them for families.
  • Junior Suite – 602.7 square feet (about 56 square metres) spread across two rooms, with a king-size bed, a lounge area and air conditioning, for up to three guests.
  • Mountbatten Suite – the largest room in the hotel at 850.3 square feet (about 79 square metres), with a king-size bed, spacious lounge and terrace areas and air conditioning, for up to three guests. The hotel's booking pages list it as the Mount Batten Suite Room.

If you need twin beds, ask for them when you book a Deluxe or Super Deluxe Room, as both categories come in either layout.

What facilities does the hotel have?

There is an outdoor swimming pool, open from 8am to 8pm, a spa open from 9am to 8pm, and a gym open daily from 6am to 9pm. The hotel has a restaurant, where breakfast is served from 6.30am to 10am, and a bar. For events there is a banquet hall, a meeting room and outdoor function facilities, well suited to weddings and conferences. Parking is available round the clock. Check-in is at 2pm and check-out at noon.

Where is Earl's Regent Hotel and what is nearby?

The hotel's address is 40/1 Deveni Rajasinghe Mawatha, Peradeniya, a short drive west of Kandy city centre. The Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya are about 2 kilometres away in a straight line, and Peradeniya town and its university are close by. In the other direction, the Temple of the Tooth Relic and Kandy Lake are each about 3.5 kilometres away in a straight line, with the forest walks of Udawatta Kele Sanctuary just above them. The old temples of Gadaladeniya and Lankathilaka, south-west of Peradeniya, make a good half-day trip.

Can I arrive by train?

Yes. Kandy Railway Station is about 2.5 kilometres away in a straight line. On the line towards the hill country, Sarasavi Uyana and Peradeniya stations are about 3 and 3.5 kilometres away respectively. A tuk-tuk or taxi covers the last stretch from any of them.

How do I get from the airport to Earl's Regent Hotel?

The hotel is about 81 kilometres in a straight line from Bandaranaike International Airport. The simplest way to arrive is a private transfer from Colombo airport to Earl's Regent Hotel, which takes you all the way to the door.

Is Earl's Regent the same as Earl's Regency?

No. Earl's Regent is a separate four-star hotel at Peradeniya, west of the city. Earl's Regency, which Earl's Hotels presents as the five-star flagship of the same collection, stands on the opposite, eastern side of Kandy. When you book, check that you have chosen the right one.

Who is Earl's Regent Hotel best suited to?

It suits families and couples who want a full-service hotel with a pool and spa close to both Kandy and Peradeniya, and groups coming for a wedding or event. Families should look at the Super Deluxe Room or the suites, which take a third guest. For more choice in the area, see our places to stay in Kandy.
