Nothing, except for we couldn't spend more time in there.

Nestled in what felt like the "heart of heaven," The Argyle Luxury Boutique Hotel provided a truly unique and wonderful escape. From the moment we arrived, a lush, verdant entrance welcomed us, leading to an unforgettable reception. Our gracious hosts, who were already prepared for our arrival, greeted us with warm smiles and an incredible surprise—a complimentary upgrade from our superior room to the hotel's most spacious suite, along with a free upgrade to a half-board booking that included a fully paid dinner. ​The hotel's ambiance was one of pure elegance and luxury. Every detail, from the stylish furnishings and abundant greenery to the fresh citrus scent that filled the air, was meticulously curated and absolutely breathtaking. The genuine care and joyful guidance from the staff made us feel not just like guests, but like welcomed friends. ​Our Suite and the Hotel Grounds ​Our suite was simply fabulous. It was a spacious and beautifully decorated sanctuary, where every detail had been carefully considered. The room's design embraced the surrounding nature, with green views from every window that paired with a cool breeze to truly enrich our souls. The suite included a full bar, a large, well-maintained bathroom, two balconies with seating areas, and a luxurious lounge with a large smart TV. ​The bed was a dream of comfort, and even the mosquito net was so elegantly designed that it blended seamlessly into the decor. An extra bed provided for our daughter was just as comfortable, and the bathroom was fully stocked with robes, slippers, and all the necessary toiletries. The rain shower, with its strong water pressure and warm water, made every wash a refreshing experience. Thoughtful touches like an iron, an umbrella, and an electric room warmer were also provided, showing the staff's dedication to our comfort. ​Stepping outside the suite, we found a huge lobby with multiple indoor seating areas and shaded outdoor spaces.

It rained the entire time but thanks to the entire team even the weather did not get us down

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable stay at The Argyle Hotel for my best friend’s 60th! Rushi went above and beyond — room upgrade, spa bookings, balloons, birthday cake, gift, and card — every detail was perfect. Suresh’s cookery class was brilliant, and thanks to Mr Vithu, Jana, and the whole team. We loved the billiards room, spa, amazing food, and our stunning suite. Stayed 13–14 August — pure magic!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Argyle. The staff in all departments were incredibly helpful and attentive, especially Dilshan, Nayomi, Guna and Imran in the bar and restaurant. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a lovely stay. The hotel was also very helpful in organising transport and excursions.

Perfect 👌

The gym needs a massive upgrade. The equipment is outdated and it is a small space with no air conditioning. Given the size of the hotel and high standard of the other facilities, it does not match these.

An excellent hotel with superb spacious rooms and restaurant. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Location great.

Everything. It was practically perfect with friendly and helpful staff.

It’s a little isolated but the views more than make up for that.

A fantastic property and I was lucky to get a room upgrade as well. The food on the property is good and staff are absolutely wonderful.

Excellent facilities with plenty of things to do (swimming pool, karaoke, pool table, walk, other sports) The whole staff is amazing, Rushanti and her team are very attentive to our needs. We came for a special occasion, they upgraded our room and made our stay very special. The rooms are nice and well equiped.

The staff went above and beyond to make us welcome and to accommodate our needs both requested (e.g. kindly helping me put on a saree for a wedding) and unprompted (e.g. having lunch for us ready when we missed the breakfast cutoff time after climbing Adam’s Peak). We didn’t get to try all the experiences offered but thoroughly enjoyed the massage and cooking class. Special thanks to Vithu for looking out for us, but every staff member from housekeeping, restaurant and reception have made our experience at Argyle and Hatton memorable. Highly recommended.

We loved the beautiful hotel. The hospitality we got from each and every person in the hotel. Got a free upgrade of the room. The dinner each night for us was free. The activities we did like cooking, massage, etc was really well organised. I had my husbands birthday and the hotel manager and their staff did all the celebrations to make my husband feel important. I so sincerely want to thank Mr. Nadhan; Mr Vithu; Mr Dimuthu urf Chamuth; Ms Rushi; Ms Umanga; Mr Shiva; dear Avisheka; Mr Srikanth; Mr Tharaka; Mr Maneth for making each and every day special for us. Thanks heaps again to everyone , if I haven’t got your names don’t feel sad but I really want to compliment everyone for making our stay so memorable. You all will be remembered and we will see you again and soon. Also will recommend this hotel to all our friends and families

The staff was simply amazing. Everybody was super friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had the best stay possible. The staff organized a small Birthday surprise for me (we didn’t even tell them about my birthday). Even though there were lots of guests, we had the feeling that all staff was super attentive, anticipating any possible needs from our side. After our stay, we felt spoilt and had a hard time to adjust to „regular good service“ in other hotels. Special thanks to Mr. Nadan, Vithu and Shiva who made our stay exceptional. They went above and beyond to take great care of us. In the end we were very sad to leave these great people and we’ll make sure to come back. Of course we also enjoyed the food, the view, the swimming pool, the spa and the pool table. We loved celebrating New Year’s Eve with the Argyle team. It was the most extensive and delicious buffet we ever had. Regular breakfast and meals were also super delicious and high quality.

Nothing. It is all perfect.

The Argyle is a truly stunning 5-star hotel in Sri Lanka. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the hotel offers immaculate, comfortable beds and rooms, that are 100% clean, top-notch dining, excursions, a heated pool and a very nice spa. Every detail, from the relaxing spa treatments we got to the warm and dedicated staff, flawless service at the restaurant pool and everywhere else, created a perfect stay. Celebrating New Year’s Eve here was unforgettable. The team hosted a wonderful party that made us feel truly special with fantastic ambiance, food, fireworks and lanterns. What sets The Argyle apart is its exceptional staff. A heartfelt thanks to Vithugash who was just amazing and truly made our stay, Suren and Rushi for expertly organizing our trip to Adam’s Peak and onward travel, and our fantastic driver, Nishan. There are many more to thank.. We could not be more happy with our stay!

There was honestly no downside to this stay.

The headline is - if you book to stay here you won’t regret it. This is the only 10/10 review I’ve ever given. This place is for you if you like…beautiful views, great food, comfortable beds, interesting activities, relaxing by the pool, excellent massages. The staff are the warmest and most helpful people who genuinely take pride in their work and support each other. Special mention to Rushanthi, Nadan, Shiva and Janarthan but all the staff are helpful, nothing is too much trouble, including helping us find the best dosa we’ve ever had in the local town of Hatton. Highly recommend the tea tour, we learnt so much, and the local self-guided walk.
