The Argyle  

Perched in Sri Lanka's central highlands near Hatton, The Argyle sits on Argyle Road in Kudaoya. You’re minutes by car from Devon Falls and Christ Church Warleigh, with Castlereagh Reservoir, St Clair Falls, Horton Plains and Adam’s Peak all within easy reach — a mountain hotel that’s family-friendly and adventure-ready.

This 38-room property mixes mountain-retreat vibes with modern touches. Rooms have balconies or terraces, air conditioning, LED TVs and rainfall showers; extras include minibars, safes, tea/coffee makers and turndown service. The lobby’s fireplace and on-site spa add a cozy, slightly luxe edge.

Dip in the outdoor pool, sweat it out in the fitness center, or unwind in the full-service spa and sauna (surcharge). There’s a shisha lounge, karaoke and barbecue area, a kids’ playroom, daily complimentary reception and free valet parking. Wake up to mountain-mist mornings and come back to a soothing poolside evening.

Small events are covered with 554 sq ft (51 sqm) of conference/meeting space, express check-in/out, dry cleaning and complimentary wireless internet — all handy for work-and-play stays.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve local Sri Lankan flavors alongside international options, plus a daily complimentary reception. 24-hour room service is available and English breakfasts are served from 6:30 AM to noon for a fee; rooms also include tea/coffee facilities and minibars.
