The Adigar's Manor Hotel
- Amunugama Waluwa, Gunnepana, Kandy
Once the ancestral home of the Ratwatte family, The Adigar’s Manor is a beautifully restored Kandyan residence that brings together history, character and understated luxury. Originally known as The Kandy House, the property was restored in 2005 by Channa Daswatte, a protégé of renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa.
Set among lush, landscaped gardens, the nine-room boutique residence offers a wonderfully peaceful escape. The house retains its colonial charm, with a central courtyard, sweeping Jackwood staircase, Dutch antiques and individually designed rooms, many featuring elegant four-poster beds.
Life here moves at a slower pace. Spend the afternoon by the infinity pool, wander through the gardens, enjoy afternoon tea on the verandah or savour fresh, locally inspired cuisine in the intimate dining room.
The Adigar’s Manor is also perfectly placed for discovering Kandy and its cultural treasures, including the Temple of the Tooth and the Royal Botanic Gardens, with hiking and other experiences nearby.
A charming Kandyan retreat where history, nature and warm Sri Lankan hospitality come together.
Rooms
The hotel offers two categories of rooms
Verandah rooms - Peacock Royal and Red Spot Duke
our most spacious rooms which open onto a wide wrap- around verandah, dotted with cane chaises longues, reading chairs and antiques. Luxurious bathrooms with tub and shower, twin wash basins.
Garden suite
an Ultra deluxe double room with arched doors opening out from the large living area onto the garden. The bedroom features a low king size bed, and a wonderfully romantic bathroom has a tiled, octagonal 2 person bath and massage area.
Deluxe Rooms - Red Admiral and Cornelian
deluxe double rooms on the upper floor overlooking a large courtyard. These rooms open onto a private verandah complete with chaise longue to lie back and enjoy the jungle views and pepper trees.
Deluxe Rooms - Sunbeam and Lime Butterfly
one deluxe double and one twin room. The twin room has a lovely bathroom with double basin, and a vintage cast iron bath and shower. The windows overlook the large internal courtyard. The double room overlooks the garden, otherwise is similar to the twin room.
Deluxe Room - Monkey Puzzle
our smallest room. The bathroom has a shower and a single basin. This bedroom is on the lower level of the courtyard and has low ceilings. As it adjoins the Garden suite the combination makes a delightful family suite for teenage children.
Dining
Dining at The Adigar's Manor is more like staying with friends and attending a dinner party each night, while breakfast is a background to a discussion of events of night before. Tables are arranged informally around the courtyard for al fresco evenings. Larger groups may prefer to eat at the grand dining table. Meals are prepared by newly arrived and first class chef, who shops daily for local ingredients. We dined on watercress soup and home made bread. Thai grilled chicken on saffron rice followed and to finish we devoured a mouthwatering caramalised pecan creme brulee. Wine was plentiful with an excellent selection of house wines. Many guests are impatient to begin sightseeing but should not leave before the platter of tropical fruits and array of breads and local jams. Cooked breakfasts are standard if that is your preference. Those guests with more time relaxed around the pool and chef rusttled up a wonderful tuna salad for lunch.
