Nuwara Eliya / Attractions / The Hotels
Many of Nuwara Eliyas hotels have a long history and a unique character distinct from other modern hotels of the country. Barnes Hall, now The Grand Hotel, a 19th century Edwardian mansion was originally the Governors house. The Glendower is a new hotel but is built on land owned by the Governor and appeared separately in title deeds over 90 years ago. The billiard table here is also a relic of colonial days. St Andrews, again built on the lines of a Tudor style mansion contains antique furniture along with another old billiard table. The Hill Club, also a century old building was the exclusive domain of the British till as recently as 1967. Its walls are adorned with trophies of deer and trout and there are still original editions in its bookshelves.
