Thilanka Hotel, Kandy began as a simple five-bedroom guesthouse in 1978. Guests were served home-cooked meals and treated as family, in the ancient Kandyan tradition of hospitality. Over the years it grew, into a small hotel by 1983 and gradually into the current 92-room facility.

Less than ten years ago we also expanded & constructed Thilanka Resort and Spa at Dambulla, providing a unique living experience in the heart of Sri Lankan agriculture and history.

During nearly 40 years of service, our one focus has been to provide the comforts of a Kandyan home with the luxury and modern facilities of a well-reputed hotel. Some of our staff members have been with us on this journey for over how many years and their total commitment to our cause is what makes us special.
