The Grand Hotel is the focal point of Nuwara Eliya, the largest and most popular town in the highlands. Nuwara Eliya lies more than 6,000 feet above sea level, and is the traditional base for exploring the delights of Sri Lanka's spectacular hill country.
The 150 rooms (60 deluxe and five suites) possess ceiling fans and/or a/c, and most have fireplaces. The governor's wing possess antique furniture; the newer golf wing rooms are furnished in more modern fashion with satellite tv.
The vast carpeted and draped lounge rooms, beautifully upholstered invite you to relax in luxurious chairs next to a warm fire, or pass an hour with a good book. The hotel, divided into two main wings (Governors Wing and Golf Wing), looks out over some breath-taking scenery, including the famed Nuwara Eliya golf course, which runs adjacent to the hotel. The hotel comes alive at night with three well stocked bars including an old style smoking bar cum games room.
