A decade of excellence

The Earl's Regency Hotel, Kandy is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with plans for an investment and expansion program.

For the past decade, since its establishment in 1999, the Earl's Regency represented the best of 5-star hospitality in the hill country hosting many local and foreign dignitaries and heads of State. Located in the heart of Kandy, the Earl's Regency is today the flagship hotel of Kandy, providing a range of modern 5-star facilities tastefully combined with traditional hill country hospitality.

The Earl's Regency will embark on an investment program to position itself as a high-end tourism service provider. This is in keeping with the national vision of marketing Sri Lanka as a high-end tourist destination.

As part of this plan the hotel will expand its luxury services to include a new, international standard spa.

"The spa will be managed by an international spa company. This will attract more demand for luxury hotel rooms and luxury services," said Jeevaka Weerakone, the General Manager, Earl's Regency Hotel, Kandy.

As part of its expansion plans the Earl's Regency has also begun work on a new banquet hall.

"We have commenced ground work to upgrade our services by introducing a Grand Banquet Hall. This will definitely be the largest in the Central Province," said Weerakone.

This year, the Earl's Regency will initiate plans to further expand its room capacity from 104 to 125, to cater to the increased demand.

"The managing company, Aitken Spence Hotel Managements, has been a pillar of support with their professionalism in the industry," said Weerakone.
