Kandy’s grand colonial-era hotel, more than 160 years old, right by Kandy Lake and the Temple of the Tooth.
- Mid-range
Why we marked it
- Hilltop location near the centre
- Large rooms
- Private decks with city views
- Good value for the space
IRIS Kandy is a hilltop hotel on Sri Pushpadana Mawatha, close to the centre of the city. It is known for its roomy accommodation and private decks with views over Kandy.
What it’s like
Rooms are larger than average for the price, and the decks are a great place for morning tea or an evening drink while the city lights come on.
Good to know
- Close to town, but the last stretch is uphill, so a tuk-tuk is easier with luggage.
- Good value for travellers who want space and a view.
