Jetwing St Andrews Hotel, Nuwara Eliya

by admin-unique | May 30, 2019 | Hotels, Nuwara Eliya & Hill Country

This is a wonderful colonial hotel dating from the Victorian era with its own quirky charm. You will probably be met with a welcome drink of soup served in tiny coffee cups – which really is often very welcome due to the chilliness outside. The hotel rooms are lovely with ensuite facilities often with a bath. A really nice touch at night would be your own hot water bottle. The breakfasts here are truly magnificent.

Heritance Tea Factory, Nuwara Eliya

by admin-unique | May 30, 2019 | Hotels, Nuwara Eliya & Hill Country

It is unique in that it was once a working tea factory and has been converted into a luxurious hotel but keeping some of the machinery once used there -of particular note are the huge belts that disappear up into the centre of the hotel and the solid scales used to weigh the tea. The hotel bedrooms are all luxuriously furnished but do have a cosy feel to them and have great views out over the nearby tea plantations. There are several dining options including the fine dining in the Railway Carriage Restaurant

Additionally, you can pick your own tea at the nearby Heathersett Estate and have it processed in the hotel’s Mini Tea Factory.

The hotel is located about a 30min drive out of Nuwara Eliya and the road can be in a poor condition which can increase the journey time.
