About Hotel Athena

Twenty-four-hour security and a full self-catering kitchen set Hotel Athena apart from Nuwara Eliya's colonial guesthouses — the property at Mahagasthota offers mountain, lake, and city views from private balconies at one address.

Rooms are soundproofed and fitted with extra-long beds, hardwood floors, and a sitting area with sofa. The kitchen runs to a stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and full kitchenware, making it practical for longer hill-country stays. Breakfast can be delivered to the room, and packed lunches are available on request.

Nuwara Eliya sits at 1,868 metres in Sri Lanka's central highlands, roughly 80km from Kandy. The surrounding Mahagasthota quarter is quieter than the town centre, with Gregory Lake a short drive below.
