Exceptional Location, World-Class Staff!

Sri Lanka marks my 37th country, and because of this world-class boutique hotel, Kandy has risen to my top favorite places on earth. For a small few accommodations, Sri Lanka offers’ ‘Level 1 Hotels’ for travelers that must quarantine upon arrival. This cutting-edge ‘bio-bubble’ methodology is to help safeguard the health and safety of not only the hotel guests but locals. Truly innovative and should be mirrored by other countries as they begin to open for tourism. My guide and Marketing and Sales Director Angelo was incredible. Everything from the food, massage therapy, and day excursions with an awesome ‘Pilot’ driver was well planned and thoughtful. Angelo and his team were very attentive, even helping navigate the complex process of entering the country from California, Doha, and Colombo. Kings Pavilion has a peaceful atmosphere. The hotel has a nostalgic blend of historic colonial architecture and humble design, with a relaxing spa and swimming pool (perfect for a chic photo). The property gardens are lush and well maintained. Angelo upgraded me before arrival and my jaw dropped upon entering the 1000 square foot of space overlooking the remarkably green backdrop of Kandy. My room was gorgeous with a large bathroom space with even a European jacuzzi tub. Breakfast and dinners were delicious each day between western and Asian choices, Sri Lankan being my favorite. Everything the Kings Pavilion staff does is well executed and done with love. It was a perfect getaway and a powerful introduction to the ‘teardrop jewel nation’ of the Indian Ocean. I look forward to staying here on my next trip in Kandy and highly recommend reaching out to Angelo Gibson. A proud Sri Lankan, he knows the country well. Having a dedicated guide and national ambassador like him is everything. They can make or break an experience!

idyllic place with sparkling clean rooms, friendly and very helpful staff and delicious food

Private and very tastefully decorated property. Good service.

Some distance from the center of the town.

Beautiful room which was immaculate and extremely comfortable. Breakfast & Dinner in the hotel were superb - food excellent and service impeccable. It's a little way from the centre of Kandy but the hotel will organise tuk tuk or taxi so this isn't an issue. I would certainly return here if back in Kandy.

Absolutely nothing
