Heritage Boutique

"Area: Kandy. Fabulous place to stay right in the heart of Kandy. This is a little boutique hotel on the same road as the Temple of the Tooth. It's the ideal location to explore much of Kandy by foot and visit the temple itself. The bed was the most comfortable I stayed in in Sri Lanka and had a very plush duvet. The Aircon was fabulous and the bathroom wonderful. It's a 30 second walk to the temple which makes it perfect for going to see one of the Pooja Ceremony's (not to be missed...! -usually times at 6.30am, 9.30am and 6.30pm, but please check with someone on the gate when you arrive, as these times often change). It's also a great location to check out the lake and the local market and also walk to various good restaurants in the area. Top Tips: -If you want to go to a temple ceremony, try to get to the early morning one- it will be less full of tourists and feel more authentic. -During the Kandy Perarah festival in August this hotel overlooks the road where the elephants are kept and fed during the day, it's also where many of the dancers/elephants get ready for the festival and end their parade at night so it offers an amazing look behind the scenes and an opportunity to chat to the Sri Lankans involved in the parade!
