EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled amidst the verdant hills of Nuwara Eliya, in the heart of Sri Lanka's Central Province, stands the majestic Carlton Hotel. Circa 1910, this grand edifice was a beloved retreat for British colonialists seeking respite from the tropical heat and humidity of India. The hill station of Nuwara Eliya, with its cool climate and picturesque landscapes, provided the perfect setting for convalescing officers and their families. The Carlton Hotel, with its imposing facade and manicured gardens, exuded an air of elegance and refinement. The trees lining the driveway and hedges neatly trimmed, reflect the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the British colonial rule. The building's architecture, a blend of Victorian and colonial styles, is a testament to the era's grandeur and opulence. The hotel offered its guests a range of amenities, including comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, and recreational activities such as horse riding, billiards, and croquet. The surrounding countryside, with its rolling hills, tea plantations, and picturesque villages, provided ample opportunities for leisurely strolls and scenic drives. The Carlton Hotel, with its rich history and timeless charm, remains an iconic symbol of Sri Lanka's colonial past. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of leisure and luxury, when the British Raj ruled supreme, and Nuwara Eliya was a popular hill station for those in search of a tranquil retreat.
