The Elephant Stables

Boasting a fabulous view over the sacred city and mountains behind, The Elephant Stables is a charming boutique hotel that combines colonial Art Deco with modern Sri Lankan style. With only 7 rooms, this was once the private home of Sir Cuda Ratwatte, a former mayor of Kandy, and many elephants were once housed in the gardens, hence the name. There’s a bar, living room, reading room, and spa, but the piece de resistance has to be the infinity pool, with incredible views out over the city. The perfect place to kick back with a cocktail after a days exploring.
