Queen’s Hotel Kandy : One of Sri Lanka’s Iconic Heritage Hotels

Queen’s Hotel is housed in a historic building located across the Kandy Lake and overlooking the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. This historical building originally constructed as a residence named the “Dullawe Walawwa” was designed by Devendra Mulachariya on instructions from King Sri Wickrama RajaSinghe the Last King of Ceylon.

Subsequently it was converted into the barracks for the Ceylon Rifle Regiment by the British Military. In 1869 it opened under new management, the Queens Hotel Company, and its name was changed to the Queen’s Hotel.

What's unique about the Queen's Hotel is that it is situated opposite the world famous "Temple of the Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha". Every year, “The Festival of the Sacred Tooth Relic” is conducted and this procession proceeds along the Queen's Hotel's East & West wings, providing the best seats for the guests.
