‘As the last royal kingdom of our nation, Kandy has many stories to tell with cultural, religious and architectural significance. Launching in such a unique destination certainly complements Jetwing’s spirit, where we continuously aim to create novel luxury experiences for guests to immerse in our rich culture. We are looking forward to welcoming discerning travellers with the genuinely warming, traditional Sri Lankan hospitality synonymous with the Jetwing brand’ said Hiran Cooray, Chairman, Jetwing Symphony PLC.
The four-storey hotel has been designed in collaboration with renowned architectural firm, Philip Weeraratne Associates and will be managed by Jetwing Hotels along with 40 resorts and villas across the island. The building is formed by two wings on either side, connected by a semi-public ‘Gallery Walk’ dedicated to the arts and crafts of Kandy. Every element of this contemporary and elegant hotel has been exquisitely designed to complement the location’s natural surroundings.
‘Experience the origins of the artistic themes of our island nation by interacting with the city, whether it’s admiring the intricacies of temple art or learning how to beat the traditional drum. Jetwing Kandy Gallery will not limit you to the beaten track, but facilitate the exploration and discoveries that are abound in a truly vibrant city. Come experience the last kingdom of Sri Lanka, the Jetwing way’ added Hiran Cooray.
