Kings Pavilion Hotel  

Perched in Kandy’s Aniwatta residential strip, Kings Pavilion is a boutique hotel set within a short drive of Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha and Kandy Clock Tower and about 1.7 miles from Kandy Lake. The property looks out over the Hantana, Hunnasgiriya and Knuckles mountain ranges, offering misty-hill views and quick access to the city’s main sights.

A contemporary boutique resort with simple luxury and rustic touches, Kings Pavilion has just nine air‑conditioned rooms. Expect airy bedrooms styled after bygone eras, private balconies with mountain or pool views, minibars and flat-screen/LCD TVs. The grounds are lush with dozens of native plants and birdlife, and rooms include slippers, bathrobes and complimentary toiletries.

Spa treatments, massages and facials await alongside a sauna, steam room and both indoor and outdoor pools. There’s a sun terrace, barbecue and picnic areas, a library and bicycles to rent. Free on-site parking and an elevator for accessible access make arrivals easy. Wake up to misty mountain mornings or unwind by the pool.

A business center and express check‑in/out support work needs, while complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The hotel also offers tour and ticket assistance and can arrange airport transfers for a surcharge.

The on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve local cuisine and drinks, plus 24‑hour room service. Breakfast is available for a fee, and the barbecue area adds a casual, social option—sip tea or a cocktail while you take in mountain or pool views.
