实在太喜欢Heritance Kandalama Hotel,因此单独写写它。
遗产酒店是事先就在官网上预定好的,打完折的标准间是170多美元。相比其他五星,这个最值。
24号中午入住,25号中午才离开。这应该是整个日程中体验最深的酒店,计划中我就将其作为一个景点了。其中25号一大早起来到顶楼看日出,早餐前还到酒店旁边的大湖走了快2个小时。餐食也很不错,24号和25号的午饭都在酒店餐厅解决。
这个酒店的灵魂在于建筑与自然融为一体,从一体两翼的建筑本身隐藏在石头山的小格局,到石头山与四周山水的大融合,真是匠心独具。我住过的酒店并不多,但就体验过的而言,国内比之房间硬件好的五星没有一个能在自然环境上望其肩背。如果爱坛有朋友去斯里兰卡旅行,建议一定住上1-2天。
附上官方网站的一些信息:
Heritance Kandalama is an architectural masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa , built overlooking the eighth wonder of the world – the rock fortress of Sigiriya. The hotel sits at the heart of the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, close to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The unpaved road through the jungle gives no clue to what to expect – there are no views of the hotel on the horizon. Then suddenly, as you drive up a ramp, a cave-like entrance appears. And even as you step into another world of minimalist white pillars and cool curving corridors, enormous boulders intrude and birdsong hangs in the air.
The theme continues throughout the hotel. Heritance Kandalama is shaped like the outspread wings of a bird, following the line of the cliff from which it seems to emerge. The hotel is a staggering 1km from end to end, and rises up seven floors, yet appears to be a perfectly natural extension of the mountainside. The flat roof and timber pillars support a screen of vegetation that attracts local wildlife.
The abundance of real-life animals around the hotel is complemented by wonderful large-scale sculptures within it. A metal owl is suspended outside the main restaurant; wooden elephants inhabit the lounge; a stone cobra uncoils along the terrace overlooking the infinity pool.
Heritance Kandalama has won more than 70 awards & certificates for its architecture, food and service, Food Safety Management System, Energy Management System & Environment Management System. We were the first Green Globe 21 certified hotel in Asia and, most recently, in June 2011, we won the Gold Award for Built Environment in the prestigious Green Apple Awards & we are the First LEED Certified Hotel in the World.
图片分为三个部分吧。为了能打开,图片从20M左右的RAW/jpg已经缩小到1200*800的一般质量jpg,大概300k不到。建议点开大图看效果好太多…… 部分图片对比度比较高,是我的后期尝试。
一是酒店建筑的外观和内部。

二是很喜欢的游泳池。我在2个泳池呆过,一是lobby外的无边泳池,能远眺狮子岩,美得只能跳进去。二是顶楼的曲折泳池,刚日出后特别静谧,只有很多五彩的鸟儿跳来跳去欢乐地唱歌,我想很多人都不曾体验到。

三是在遗产酒店旁边的大湖散步,很多鸟兽,也有当地居民的过道。干旱,湖水退却严重。很多国内的帖子误以为大湖是酒店的资产,其实不是的。斯里兰卡超过70%的土地都是国有,并且水库、海滩等都必须是国有,任何酒店根本不可能设客人专区。反观我们土地完全国有的社会主义中国,居然出现了很多酒店专用海滩,简直无耻。
路过的人儿,很友爱。
