About Hotel Glendower
Set within the cool highlands of Nuwara Eliya, Hotel Glendower is a four-star property that leans into the colonial character of Sri Lanka's hill station.

Front desk services cover concierge assistance, express check-in and check-out, luggage storage, and safety deposit boxes, while the tours and ticketing desk can organise day trips to Horton Plains National Park and Baker's Falls. In-room comforts include 24-hour room service and daily housekeeping. Laundry and dry cleaning are available on site, and complimentary parking is provided for guests arriving by car. The property is entirely non-smoking. With Galway's Land National Park close by, it suits those visiting during the cooler months — check the best time to visit Nuwara Eliya before booking.
