I stayed for just one night in May, as part of a tour. Hotel Topaz has THE friendliest most attentive staff. Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. The views are simply amazing and worth the slightly scary drive to the top of Kandy. An excellent base to relax, the pool is perfectly adequate. The 3rd floor rooms are the renovated... More

The hotel was high up the mountain but gave wonderful views of Kandy below. The staff were so friendly, the nicest we had on our tour around Sri Lanka. The room was a little basic but we didn't spend much time in there. The pool was nice and we were the only ones using it. The food was good, either... More

Hotel Topaz was built in 1976 and fashioned after a much loved gem stone found in Sri Lanka. Considering its situation in the hill capital of Kandy, the last royal stronghold in the country, Hotel Topaz is considered the jewel in the crown of Kandy.Nestled amidst lush tropical greenery, surrounded by the distinctive Knuckles Mountain range and Bible Rock, enveloped in the cool winds blowing through the mountains, Hotel Topaz offers something for everyone.The short distance away from the city centre itself, lends the hotel and its guests maximum accessibility no matter what the choice of activity is.
