With a longstanding reputation as a vacation spot for many who visit the nation, Nuwara Eliya has over many decades developed into a unique getaway. No matter where you look, there will be signs of the heavy colonial influences visible. From the architecture to the landscaping there is a little bit of old England left behind.
One of the greatest remnants of this bygone era maybe the Grand Hotel located at the centre of the city. Built-in the late 1800s the hotel was initially the home of the governor of Sri Lanka and was built with all the amenities and luxurious comforts one might require on a chilly Nuwara Eliya night.
With a fabulous array of options in terms of dining as well as a spectacular high tea setting, this is a must-visit during your stay in Nuwara Eliya.
