Book Direct & Save“I simply cannot rate this hotel more highly, unforgettable - 10/10 across the board in terms of amenities/service/food/comfort. The views are incredible from the bedrooms and for that alone I would give it 10. The service they offered however was beyond anything during the Cyclone Ditwa - with roads closed in and out of Kandy we were unable to leave after our initial two night stay, and Pradeep and his team did everything they could to make us feel welcome and looked after. If you want to have a memorable stay for all the right reasons - this is the place to stay in Kandy.”

“We had an excellent stay at The Summit - easily the best accommodation we experienced in Sri Lanka. The team are incredibly professional, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. This is truly a five-star hotel that could easily charge more for its rooms. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and come with excellent Wi-Fi. A huge bonus is the on-demand tuk-tuk service, which takes you into Kandy in just 10 minutes. The hotel also boasts stunning views over Kandy.”

“Amazing hotel with an incredible room view over Kandy. We stayed here for one night and wished to have stayed longer! All staff was so welcoming and helped us to make the perfect day out of our short stay - they recommended us the closeby Pekoe trail and brought us there, one of the best hikes we did in Sri Lanka. They provide tuk-tuk service to and from the city, and Starlink wifi - the fastest we have had the chance to use in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was also very tasty!”

“We stayed at The Summit in Kandy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, extremely clean, and very well organized. The ambience is calm and peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. Our room had the perfect view, morning was misty, with a great view of the town, and the staff made sure everything was set up comfortably on the rooftop for breakfast. Big thanks to Jegan - the staff's genuine care made our stay feel extra special. They also offer Starlink Wifi.”
