Argyle Hotel
- Kudaoya Estate, Argyle Road, Hatton
As the first light of dawn streaks through, rolling back gently the swathes of mist covering the green clad mountains of Hatton, glistening atop one of them is what seems to be a Scottish castle. And as the warmth of the sun paints skies of brilliant sapphire and hills of sparkling emerald, glimpses of the Scottish Castle, Argyle by name, proudly presents its treasures. Immaculately manicured lawns laced with brightly colored blooms dancing to the gentle breeze. The grey stone exterior enclosing a cleverly terraced domain with brilliant 360 views of the magnificent vistas beyond. A highland haven, just a short 3-hour journey from the heart of Colombo. One of its kind in this region of Hatton. The Argyle draws its inspiration from the name of a renowned Scottish Tea Planter who in the bygone centuries settled in the locality, known as Kuda-Oya, and helped build its proud Heritage of producing world class Ceylon Tea. It is his spirit and passion for perfection and finesse, that developed the region into a producer of some of the finest Ceylon Tea, that inspires and pervades the luxurious hospitality and comfort that is distinctive of this Highland Haven. From the luxuriously appointed rooms that are all privy to the spellbinding landscapes painted afresh every moment, to the gloriously heated pool, to the consideration for the comfort of disabled guests, to the mouth-watering gastronomic adventure at Queen Mary’s dining room, to excursions carefully curated to give guests the best of this islands best kept secrets, a stay at the Argyle offers a magical interlude from the humdrum of life.
