Hotel Suisse has been a part of Kandy since 1890. It sits on Sangaraja Mawatha on the quieter side of Kandy Lake, a pleasant lakeside walk from the Temple of the Tooth and the town centre.
What it’s like
A colonial-era building with large rooms, wide verandas and a pool in the garden. Guests often mention good value for the space and the setting.
Good to know
- Ask for a lake-view room.
- The walk into town along the lake is one of the nicest in Kandy, especially early morning.
