Converted tea factory amid tea terraces

HERITANCE TEA FACTORY
Nuwara Eliya
NESTLED AMONG ENDLESS hillsides and tea plantations , the four-star Heritance Tea Factory is a luxury hotel and tea lovers ’ haven in the central region of Nuwara Eliya . Poised on a hilltop at 2km above sea level , the hotel basks in breath-taking panoramic views of the undulating landscape and offers a unique cultural experience . Contrasting the brilliant green setting with its stark white façade , this four-storey building is a converted tea factory built in the 1930s after its predecessor was fire-damaged in the First World War . The building was opened as a hotel in 1996 , and evidence of its industrial past is preserved as in a museum . This can be seen in Kenmare Restaurant , where ironwork resides overhead in TCK6685 restaurant , which is located in one of the original 1930s railway carriages and is home to a unique white glove dining experience , and in the main multistorey hallway . Sri Lankan and international dishes and tea-themed menus are prepared and served by local chefs . The estate ’ s own produce is central to your stay ; enjoy a welcoming cup of hot spiced tea , High Tea in Goatfell Bar , and tea-plucking in the fields . You can even have the leaves processed in the hotel ’ s mini tea factory to take home . A luxury boutique hotel , the 54 cosy guestrooms are located in the former withering lofts , that were once used for drying tea leaves ; now , large windows frame spectacular countryside views . Heritance Tea Factory is furnished with a luxury spa for relaxing stays , where massages and treatments are available alongside warming steam room and Jacuzzi facilities - perfect for when the mists descend over the hillside .
