The Blackpool Hotel

Set among the tea estates and vegetable farms that fill the rolling hills and valleys of Nuwara Eliya, The Blackpool Hotel offers a comfortable base in colonial architecture, typical of the town.

The hotel features thoughtfully decorated rooms that blend the building’s traditional style with modern comfort. Each of the 50 rooms and six suites include air-conditioning, tea and coffee-making facilities, and complimentary WiFi. Large windows fill the accommodation spaces with natural light, and frame sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.

The restaurant serves freshly prepared Sri Lankan dishes alongside a selection of Asian and Mediterranean favourites, complemented by an impressive wine list. Evenings can be spent enjoying a cold drink at the bar, or relaxing in one of the hotel’s inviting lounges.

One of the hotel’s standout features is its heated outdoor infinity pool and sun terrace, both ideal spots to unwind after a day discovering the wildlife of this atmospheric part of Sri Lanka.
