Lavendish Lake Giritale - Former Giritale Hotel  

Perched on a small hill overlooking the ocean‑like Giritale Wewa, this family-friendly hotel in Giritale puts you inside Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. Polonnaruwa’s ancient ruins and Minneriya National Park are easy day trips from the property.

The 42 individually decorated rooms pair soothing ethnic décor with modern comforts — minibars, refrigerators, 42-inch LED TVs, air conditioning and private bathrooms; deluxe rooms boast balconies and grassy terraces for the best lake views.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, unwind with spa treatments, sauna or steam room, or book massages and body treatments; kids get a tea house and playrooms, while a library, picnic and barbecue areas, wedding services, tour assistance, free parking and a 24‑hour front desk round out the offering.

Event-ready with a conference center, meeting rooms and a business center, plus express check-in, limo/town‑car and train pick‑up options and on-site internet for meetings.

Dine on the restaurant terrace, grab snacks in the coffee shop or unwind at the bar/lounge; buffet breakfasts are served daily and room service is available during limited hours, all with scenic lake views.
