Why we marked it
- A short walk to the Temple of the Tooth
- Garden suites with private plunge pools
- Stylish, modern interiors
- Right in the centre of town
The Radh is a stylish boutique hotel on Colombo Street, in the heart of Kandy. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the Old Royal Palace and Kandy Lake are all a short walk away.
What it’s like
Interiors are modern and design-led. There is no main pool, but the garden suites come with their own private plunge pools, which feel like a real luxury this close to the centre. There is a restaurant and bar on site.
Good to know
- One of the best options if you want to do Kandy on foot.
- Book a garden suite if you want a pool.
- Colombo Street is busy in the day, but the hotel is a calm escape from it.
