Found in the heart of Sri Lanka鈥檚 Cultural Triangle, Cinnamon Lodge Habarana sits in a 0.15 square kilometre nature sanctuary which is home to numerous bird species and primates.
Distinctly Sri Lankan architecture with columns and verandas combine with dark wood furniture and colourful textiles to create a relaxed and welcoming feel. Rooms are housed in two storey buildings which are spread throughout the grounds, many of which feature elevated beds to mimic the ancient customs of Sri Lankan kings.
This is a large property with lots of facilities that's run very efficiently by friendly and attentive staff.
A combination of the location, facilities and room quality make Cinnamon Lodge the most rewarding option in the Cultural Triangle. At times the hotel can be quite busy, but staff always have time for their guests and extend a warm welcome.
