Grindlays Regency Hotel

Tucked in Alawwa near Kurunegala, this family-friendly Art Deco bolthole sits within reach of Sri Lanka’s elephant country. You're about 24.6 km from the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and 18.9 km from Wewaladeniya King's Temple, with Bandaranaike Intl. Airport roughly 52 km away.

An Art Deco property with just 13 air-conditioned rooms, each room has a private balcony, minibar and flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Bathrooms feature showers and complimentary toiletries with slippers or bidets, and a cozy in-room feel that mixes classic lines with simple comforts.

Dip in the outdoor pool or hire bicycles to explore the neighborhood. Concierge service, babysitting (surcharge), wedding services, a picnic and barbecue area, and a daily complimentary reception round out the handy extras—perfect for relaxed country stays and wake-up-to-warm-mornings vibes.

There’s a business center plus express check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk and free valet parking. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected; a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café serve local flavors and casual snacks. Grab a drink at the bar/lounge, take advantage of limited-hours room service, or mingle at the nightly complimentary reception.
