The Artistic and Quirky Helga’s Folly in Kandy

Helga’s Folly in Kandy is a far cry from what the rest of the city exudes, and to quote their website, “if expecting a regular hotel experience, best look elsewhere.”

In a nutshell, it is something like a scene or setting from the imaginary world of Alice in Wonderland. This 35 room property has quite an interesting background to it, having been the home of a celebrity/artistic family of the by-gone era.

What makes the place different is the artistic and quirky manner in which its interior has been decorated, with haphazardly placed furniture, dark narrow corridors and candelabras overflowing with candle-wax. The walls take on exuberant colours and hardly any wall space has been left bare, without a painting, a wall hanging or any ornament for that matter.

This place is probably not for all, and is best stayed at if you would really love a change from the mundane and is only about 20 mins from the City’s more traditional attractions.
