History

The Kandy Hotel is also known as "Amunugama Walauwa" or "Ratwatte Walauwa"[1] was built in 1804[8] by the Chief Minister, Ratwatte Adigar, to the last King of Kandy. The kingdom at that time forbade any but the royal residences to use roofing tiles but the ambitious Ratwatte Adigar, had the nerve to build himself a replica palace with two sprawling stories of terracotta tiles. Two hundred years on, Geoffrey Bawa's protégé Channa Daswatte began work on a sensitive restoration[9] that has kept the essence of the villa intact but brought it into the 21st century. [10]
