The Experience

What will you remember about your visit to Kandy? The spectacular parades of elephants and fire eaters at the Esala perahera? The beautiful carvings and inlays of the Palace of the Tooth Relic? Or the calming serenity of the central lake? Stay in the Earl’s Regency, one of the finest Kandy hotels and your memories will include the warm hospitality of Sri Lanka. 5 Star hotels such as ours offer sumptuous dining and exclusive reviving treatments at our spa.

ACCOMMODATION

Earl’s Regency Hotel has 134 rooms split between the main building, the South Wing and the Knuckles Wing. An ideal choice of accommodation in Kandy, each of our beautifully appointed rooms has its own balcony with views over the river, lush hills and distant mountains.

Local materials are used throughout, from the wooden floors and furniture to the herbs in the custom-made toiletries. The relief of a young palm tree that you’ll see on your bedroom wall is a Sri Lankan symbol of prosperity and growth.

All rooms are supplied with every comfort, including fan and air conditioning, TV with satellite and local channels, a fully-stocked minibar, tea and coffee-making equipment, free bottled water, hairdryer, telephone and safe.

For families we can provide free cots for babies or a third bed for $15 a night. We also have some interconnecting rooms if you would like more privacy – just ask.

We provide 24-hour room service, laundry service and dry cleaning.

Check-in and check-out time is 12 noon.

DINING

OUR FOOD AND DRINK
The culinary brigades at Aitken Spence Hotels are among the best in Sri Lanka, having won numerous awards over the years.
The restaurants at the Earl’s Regency Hotel combine the best traditions of international fine dining with a Sri Lankan touch, making the meals here a memorable and unique experience.

SRI LANKAN FOOD
Traditional Sri Lankan food is a wonderful mix of taste, colour and aroma. Because the island’s location made it a popular stopping-off point for foreign traders, indigenous spices such as cinnamon and cloves have been enriched by diverse culinary influences from around the world.

For example, the Arabs introduced saffron and rose water, while the Portuguese not only brought chillies to the island but also culinary terms such as “temper”, which is derived from the Portuguese word temperado, meaning to fry and season.

The Dutch introduced recipes rich in eggs and butter, like Breudher, a Dutch Christmas cake. There are also Malay influences, such as the steamed dessert watalappam and the rice dishes pilau and biriyani.

We assist and organize weddings to the specific requirements of the bride & groom, and strive to provide memories that last a life time. From the venue, to the gastronomic requirements, to the point where matrimonial vows are exchanged we promise to turn dreams into reality.
