託塔拉加拉(Thotalagala)

This hotel is absolutely out of this world in every way .. There are only 7 rooms I think , it’s a former planters bungalow. The setting, the service the rooms. If you have the opportunity stay here do not hesitate. The staff will arrange for you to go to Lipton’s seat ,and the tea factory. It’s a scenic ride through the tea plantations . Would be wonderful for part of a honeymoon . It’s a bit away from Ella .. so if you only have a night just stay here enjoy the hotel and do the trip to Lipton’s seat. If you have 2 nights it’s probably better so you can enjoy the hotel .

The service was one of the best we've ever experienced. Everyone was extremely attentive and took the utmost care of us. The food is another big topic: it was exceptionally good, so I would highly recommend having lunch and dinner, even when it's not included in the fare. Lastly, the location and the view were simply stunning. From the hotel itself you can explore the tea plantations without any other tourists (unlike in other tourist hotspots). Moreover, some of the hotel employees may join you on hike and show you some nice trails.

English style well preserved mansion in the middle of tea plantation with a breathtaking view. Very attentive staff doing their best to fulfill all your needs. Relaxing homelike atmosphere. We loved cigar room with a fireplace! Every suite is designed in colonial style with charming interior details.

Amazing views - stunning architecture with loads of history and above all impeccable service! Literally Nothing to complain about! Would most definitely recommend. You feel at home the moment you step into the property and never want to leave.

Yes it’s the 4th time we visited this magnificent bungalow with different group of friends! We were on all our visits warmly welcomed by Deepika and her team. The service was impeccable and the rooms clean! Choice of food and on all occasions was excellent! We were further treated for a late afternoon high tea as well! Thankyou

Hôtel extraordinaire du fait de son emplacement. Le service a l anglaise est parfait. La maison historique est restaurée avec beaucoup de goût. La piscine à débordement qui domine la vallée de plantation de thé est parfaite Petits déjeuners et dîners servis sur la terrasse au coin du feu. Lieu de résidence idéal pour se reposer dans un cadre magique où et visiter la région

Wir waren 4 Nächte in Thotalagala und hätten es noch länger ausgehalten. Wir hatten die Sir Liptons Suite, die auch über einen eigenen Sitzplatz verfügt. Sicher Disco und Highlife sucht man hier vergebens. Dafür wird man in jeder Art verwöhnt und kann es eifach geniessen. Wer Freude hat am eher kolonialen Stil hat, oder im Rundreisegehtz mal eine Pause braucht, der muss dieses Schmuckstück einfach besuchen.

Stunning scenery and impeccable service
