The Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel, built in the style of an Elizabeth Manor House, is an iconic landmark of Sri Lanka that has a heritage of over 127 years. Situated in the high elms of Nuwara Eliya, the Barnes Hall was built by the Governor of Ceylon, Sir Edward Barnes, at his own expense between 1830 and 1850. Nearly 200 years later, the Grand Hotel has evolved to blend its beauty with exceptional hospitality, giving visitors to the mountains of Sri Lanka a magnificent place to stay.
