The hotel was designed by Sri Lanka’s renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa. Its architecture brings the forest and lake scenery into the building, creating openness and a connection with nature. Looking through large windows and exploring the changing light and views make the stay part of the journey itself.
The owl sculpture in the atrium is another memorable feature. The infinity pool, which appears to merge with the lake, is also a highlight. The hotel appeals to admirers of Bawa’s architecture and anyone who wants to unwind in natural surroundings.
