    Hiking

    In 1844, this British colonial building opened, many famous people came and went, Hermann Hesse was also among them. This former Governor's Residence is one of the oldest hotels in Sri Lanka.

    Hiking

    The visit of the Queen's is also possible for non-guests. There is a small exhibition of old silver and porcelain, as well as pictures from the British colonialism and the construction of the railway line through the highlands. An impressive pioneering achievement. I can definitely recommend you to have a gin and tonic in the old bar and you feel transported back to colonial times. The bartender will gladly and patiently answer all questions about the venerable Queen's Hotel.
