Why we recommend it

The building worked as a tea factory before it was a hotel, and the conversion kept the shafts, the belts and the smell of the drying floor. It is the most distinctive place to stay in the hill country.

At this altitude the evenings are genuinely cold. That is part of the appeal after a week in the lowlands, and it surprises people who packed only for the coast.

Heritance Tea Factory is an official partner hotel of Genuine Sri Lankans, the company that plans and invoices your trip. The rate we quote comes officially from the hotel, so it is our own partner rate.
