Heritance Tea Factory  

Perched about 2,000 metres above sea level in Kandapola near Nuwara Eliya, this luxury mountain hotel sits in the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country. Close to Pedro Tea Factory, Pidurutalagala, Lover’s Leap Waterfall and Lake Gregory, it’s a great base for tea tours, nature walks and family-friendly escapes.

Housed in a converted British‑era tea factory, the hotel blends industrial heritage with locally made wood furnishings and full‑length windows that frame panoramic hill views. Roughly 50 rooms feature memory‑foam beds, minibars, LCD TVs with DVD players, and private bathrooms with bathtubs or rainfall showers. Junior Suites add a separate living area and the Flowerdew Suite includes a dining area and Jacuzzi. The property has earned EU SWITCH‑Asia Greening Hotel awards for sustainability.

Pamper yourself in the spa with massages and treatments, work out in the fitness center, or rent bicycles to explore the misty hills. Other on‑site perks include a library, mini‑golf, picnic area and a playground for kids. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and valet parking are available; airport shuttle offered for a surcharge. Wake up to tea‑country mornings and sweeping mountain air.

Well‑equipped for meetings and events with a business center and meeting rooms. Practical services include 24‑hour reception, concierge, luggage storage, dry cleaning and laundry.

Kenmare Restaurant serves lunch and dinner, backed up by a coffee shop/café, tea bar and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Buffet breakfast is available daily for a fee. Expect plenty of authentic Ceylon tea and regional flavors throughout the menus.
