Bandarawela Hotel at Bandarawela, built in 1873, has been well maintained yet not modernized, retaining the original architecture and interior decoration. Right behind the city center is the driveway of the Bandarawela Hotel that take you right back to the Colonial period of Ceylon. Bandarwela Hotel is managed by Aitken Spence Group of Companies in Sri Lanka.
The garden where an old black Austin Healey and BSA motorbike is parked, the reception where an old Bakelite telephone and a big clunky typewriter is showcased, enhance the colonial charm of the hotel. Without being a 5 star modern luxury hotel, yet being equipped and furnished for a comfortable stay, Bandarawela Hotel is geared to bring in unique experiences to its guests.
Surrounded by hills and tea plantations, the town of Bandarawela is the perfect getaway from the tropical heat of Sri Lanka. Up country hotels such as ours allows you to enjoy the spring like weather this town offers throughout the year. A favourite retreat of the British during colonial times, Bandarawela is dotted with English country style houses and sprawling gardens. Bandarawela is a busy market town at an elevation of 1,230m. Bandarawela was once said to have one of the healthiest climates in the world. Some of the best and most 'flavoured' tea is said to come from this area. The best pears and strawberries are also grown here since the climate is dry and mild.
