The Firs

Perched on a picturesque hillock in Nuwara Eliya, overlooking Lake Gregory and next to the Victoria Golf Club. About 2 km from the city center and close to Galway Forest Reserve, Victoria Park, Hakgala Botanic Gardens and Horton Plains.

A heritage bungalow turned boutique hotel that keeps two-century-old charm while offering modern comforts. Only five rooms and suites feature fireplaces, king- or queen-sized beds, private jacuzzis/jetted tubs, LCD TVs and DVD players, tea/coffee facilities and complimentary Wi‑Fi, plus a complimentary personal butler service.

Kick back in Phillip’s Attic Bar and Cigar Room or fire up the barbecue area after a day exploring. The property offers a small spa/massage room, a game room (pool, darts and cards), concierge and tour desk, 24-hour room service, laundry/dry cleaning, airport shuttle (surcharge) and free self-parking—wake up to cool, misty hill mornings and lake views.

A business center with meeting/board-room options is available, plus complimentary wired and wireless internet—ideal if you need high-speed internet for work.

The on-site restaurant serves a fusion menu from Western to Indian to Continental and Eastern fare; continental breakfasts are available (fee) from 6:30–8:30 AM. Suites include private dining rooms and the attic bar pours a wide selection of local and international beverages; 24-hour in-room dining is offered.
