Location
Anuradhapura finally has a hotel in which it can take pride. The Palm Garden Village Hotel, rated as a three-star, but with particularly stylish public areas, is conveniently situated within 8 kms of the ruined city of Anuradhapura, capital of the Sinhala kingdom for 14 centuries. Anuradhapura is just over 100 miles north of Colombo, a journey of slightly more than four hours. Wilpattu game park is also a comfortable drive away.
Introduction
The Palm Garden Village Hotel, has the air of a colonial club, but one with a relaxed and enlightened air. It was built in traditional colonial style in the late 1990s and stands in a large 50 acre property, with villas immersed in the greenery. This botanical garden is well stocked with flowers, spices and fruit and occasional elephants, buffaloes and deer wander out of the forest to drink at the adjacent lake, which was renovated by the hotel. Palm Garden's profusion of birdlife also holds particular appeal for ornithologists.

The well furnished bedrooms also have IDD phone, satellite TV, mini-bar and attached bathroom with h/w shower. The Suites consists of a four poster canopied beds and sitting area.
Facilities
Palm Garden Village has the largest swimming pool in the cultural triangle with a large area of 1m depth, making it perfect for young children. There is a conference hall, snooker room, tennis courts, gymnasium, and shops. Relax at the Ayurvedic wellness centre and Spa with an open air Jacuzzi. A range of relaxing therapies is on offer using natural Ayurvedic medicinal herbs and oils. The hotel will suit independent travellers looking for a smaller, more personal base, but it is not a hotel for committed foodies - the restaurant can have a limited menu in off-season; a pizzeria is also available on request. The bar serves a range of beverages including cocktails. Nature lovers will enjoy exploring the extensive gardens filled with fruit and medicinal trees that attract numerous species of birds and the adjacent lake frequented by animals including the occasional elephant.
Excursions
Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka’s first capital was the greatest monastic city of the ancient world. It was royal capital for more than 100 Sri Lankan kings and at its heights was home to thousands of monks from dozens of monasteries. The ruins of Mahavihara, the first Monastery, which served as the seat of Theravada Buddhism, as well as the Thuparamaya, built by King Devanam Piyatissa in 250 B.C.E, the Ruwanwelisaya, and several other monasteries and temples can be seen. The ancient Bo Tree, which was originally a branch of the Bo tree in Budda Gaya under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment and brought to Sri Lanka by Emperor Asoka’s daughter, Princess Sangamiita, also is in Anuradhapura.
