Best hotels in Nuwara Eliya

Warwick Gardens is the very picture of old-world opulence, its facade an old stone planter's mansion and its interiors, glossy reminders of Sri Lanka 100 years ago. Warwick's setting is Nuwara Eliya, an unblemished mountain town where the hills are green with tea bushes, the rewards of which you'll taste on the sunny lawns. Discover these quaint surrounds on walks along alpine trails and day trips to the grasslands of Horton Plains National Park alongside sambar deer and wandering elephants. Or, if you want nothing more than to pick up a book, put your feet up, and gaze at that view, Warwick will suit you perfectly too.

High above the coastal plains of Sri Lanka, mountain clouds rest upon a blanket of tea plantations. It was in these very highlands where the colonial British retreated for cooler climes, and built empires from hill stations that became their adopted home. A timeless favourite has always been the city of Nuwara Eliya – a city so nostalgic, that it has since earned the nickname of ‘Little England’. Set apart from Nuwara Eliya hotels, the hill country home of hospitality lives up to the city’s historical moniker in all forms. Located in the heart of Nuwara Eliya, Jetwing St. Andrew’s is surrounded by the scenic beauty of our central highlands. As a luxurious hotel in the heart of Sri Lanka’s magnificent hill country, Jetwing St. Andrew’s is a wonderful place to embark on picturesque adventures in, around, and beyond thenostalgic neighbourhood of Nuwara Eliya – be it on foot, in a car, on a bicycle, or even on our beautiful upcountry railway line. Intricately refurbished, all rooms at Jetwing St. Andrew’s feature the nostalgia of traditional bedchambers fitted with modern amenities to suit your lifestyle for a memorable stay at the hill country home of Sri Lankan hospitality.

Step into luxury among rose gardens, misty mountains in the distance, and the colonial surroundings of the 11-room hotel. Elegantly decorated, the cozy corners and delicately designed living areas add to the warmth of the entire property, making it one of the most sought-after Nuwara Eliya boutique hotels.
