About Cinnamon Citadel Kandy

A broad pool deck and rooms facing the Mahaweli River give Cinnamon Citadel Kandy a distinctly quieter side of the hill capital.

Cinnamon Citadel Kandy sits beside the Mahaweli River, pairing its green riverside setting with resort-style amenities and straightforward access to central Kandy. The hotel’s room collection ranges from garden-facing Superior accommodation to larger Deluxe rooms and Suites overlooking the river, with air conditioning, WiFi, minibars, tea and coffee facilities, televisions, and private bathrooms among the standard comforts. Outside, an outdoor swimming pool overlooks the surrounding landscape, while three dining venues cover buffet meals, Indian cuisine, drinks, and lighter dishes. Free private parking, room service, airport transfers, accessible facilities, and meeting spaces broaden the practical side of a stay. The atmosphere is noticeably removed from Kandy’s denser center, though major cultural landmarks remain within a short drive.

Where You’ll Be Staying

Planning a stay in Kandy? Get to know the city and explore the best areas to stay.
Discover what each area has to offer and find a hotel in Kandy that suits your trip, budget, and plans.

Cinnamon Citadel Kandy is located at 124 Srimath Kuda Ratwatte Mawatha on the banks of the Mahaweli River. The setting is greener and quieter than central Kandy, with wooded hills and water forming much of the immediate outlook. The city center is not directly outside the entrance, so major sightseeing areas are generally reached by vehicle rather than on foot.

Nearby Attractions

  • Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - Sri Dalada Maligawa is roughly 3 to 4 km from the hotel, depending on the route used. The temple complex is Kandy’s principal cultural landmark and sits beside Kandy Lake in the historic center.
  • Kandy Lake - Kandy Lake is approximately 3.3 km away. Its lakeside paths place visitors close to the Temple of the Tooth, museums, cultural venues, and several of central Kandy’s busier streets.
  • Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha - The large hilltop Buddha at Bahirawakanda is approximately 2.6 km from the hotel. Its elevated position provides wider views over Kandy and the surrounding hills.
  • Asgiri Maha Viharaya - Asgiri Maha Viharaya is approximately 2.2 km away and forms part of Kandy’s important Buddhist monastic tradition.
  • Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya - The Royal Botanic Gardens are around 8 km from the property by commonly cited hotel-distance estimates. The extensive grounds are known for orchids, palms, tropical collections, and long shaded walking routes.

What to Expect Around Here

The riverside location trades immediate walkability for space, greenery, and a quieter pace. Central Kandy is still close enough for straightforward sightseeing trips, but evenings back at the hotel feel noticeably removed from the traffic around the lake and market streets.

Choose Cinnamon Citadel Kandy for river views, poolside downtime, and a calmer base within driving distance of Kandy’s historic center. Check room availability for the preferred dates.
