The Deer Park Hotel, Polonnarawa

Situated within the district capital of Polonnaruwa, about five hours by road from the capital, Colombo. The Deer Park Hotel is ideally located for seeing Sri Lanka's ancient civilizations and UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Anuradhaprra, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya: an historical tapestry known as the Cultural Triangle. It's as much a spiritual journey as a cultural one. It's a story of Buddhism, royalty, kinship, war and power - a story of dreams, visions and intrigues. The cottages at the Deer Park Hotel are set within the beautiful gardens that overlook the Giritale reservoir. All the cottages are comfortably furnished with double or twin beds, living area with day bed, dressing area, air-conditioning, ceiling fan. Most cottages come with unique open-air garden bathrooms with outdoor showers. Whilst not the smallest of hotels the Deer Park has a nice feel, attractive grounds, peaceful atmosphere and is an ideal base away from the sometimes crowded Cultural Triangle.The choice of accommodation is as follows: Superior Cottage - Rustic cottages in the woods that are ideal for couples or families who wish to stay in connecting units beside each other.
