EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting city of Kandy, Sri Lanka, in this photograph of the Queens Hotel from 1937. Located in the heart of the city, the Queens Hotel was once a symbol of elegance and luxury during the British colonial era in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image showcases the grandeur of the hotel's colonial architecture, with its red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and ornate woodwork. The lush greenery surrounding the hotel adds to its picturesque beauty, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The Queens Hotel was a popular destination for travelers during the 1930s, attracting tourists and dignitaries alike. The hotel's proximity to the Temple of the Tooth, a sacred Buddhist site, made it an ideal place to stay for those seeking spiritual enlightenment and cultural exploration. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was a much smaller place. The Queens Hotel in Kandy stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, a place where the past and present converge in a beautiful and fascinating way.
