Kandy Waters Hotel

Kandy Waters Hotel sits by the Lake Round in Kandy, a five-minute walk from the sacred Temple of the Tooth and the shores of Kandy Lake. The hotel offers air-conditioned rooms with cable TV, safes, minibars and private bathrooms, plus a restaurant, garden, terrace, tour desk and currency exchange. Wi-Fi access, on-site parking, 24-hour security, room service and laundry round out the services.

The location puts Kandy's highlights on foot: the Temple of the Tooth, Malwathu Maha Viharaya, the Royal Botanical Peradeniya's distant allure and the Udawatta Kele forest sanctuary nearby, with Wales Park and the National Museum a short walk away. Day trips to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and the Knuckles Range are easy to arrange. For a practical, well-placed base in the hill capital, Kandy Waters fits neatly.
