The 134-room Earl's Regency is an upscale resort just outside the city of Kandy in central Sri Lanka, with widespread windows looking out onto the surrounding mountains. There isn't much within walking distance, but many cultural attractions are less than a 30-minute drive away. Rooms are sophisticated and handsome, outfitted with minibars, air-conditioning, and furnished balconies, but noise can be an issue and they're showing some wear and tear. There are three dining options on-site, but food receives mixed reviews. Other amenities include a pretty outdoor pool with adjacent kiddy pool, small spa and gym, and business facilities. For guests who want to stay closer to Kandy, the Theva Residency is another solid option with stunning views from all rooms.
