OZO Kandy Hotel

Radisson Hotel Kandy (formerly OZO Kandy) is a 122-room four-star hotel on a hillside above the city, an easy stroll above Kandy's central sights. Built around smart, practical design, it offers compact, well-appointed rooms — many with balconies overlooking the city and the lake — with rain showers, tea and coffee facilities and minibars, plus a fitness centre and Wi-Fi throughout.

The highlight is the fifth-floor rooftop: a pool and cocktail bar with generous views over Kandy's hills and the lake, one of the city's best sunset spots. Downstairs, an all-day restaurant serves Sri Lankan and international dishes, including traditional curries praised by guests. The Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, the National Museum and Udawattakele Forest Reserve are all within easy reach, making it a reliable modern base in the hill capital.
