When you arrive in the historic city of Kandy away from the asphalt jungles of Colombo, consider yourself one of many foreign visitors -among them dignitaries, celebrities, poets, writers, literati, glitterati, affluent businessmen, hitch hikers and back packers- who all went into dizzy raptures about its beauty. Ah, Kandy! Serene Garden Hotel is situated within walking distance of the city centre and overlooking the serene Kandy Lake. Above all these things, something unique about Serene Garden Hotel: its ambience is serene and the experience blends with the unique enchantment that Kandy serenely weaves in the mind of the foreign traveller, as it has done for centuries. From Serene Garden Hotel, it is walking distance to the Dalada Maligawa (The Temple of the Tooth) across the road from the Kandy Lake. This hallowed temple is synonymous with the historic hill capital of Kandy; it is where the tooth relic of the Buddha is enshrined, enduring symbol of a nation’s sovereignty.
