  • In this vlog, I'm staying at Sri Lanka's most luxurious colonial hotel: The Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. The Grand Hotel is almost 200 years old, and it was originally built as the private residence of the 5th governor of Ceylon (British Sri Lanka), Sir Edward Barnes. Over 100 years ago, it was converted from a private residence into a luxury hotel. Today, I'll be showing you everything The Grand Hotel has to offer, including its incredible restaurants, high tea, mindfulness studio & spa, and beautiful gardens.
