Experts' Choice Award Helga's Folly
What the experts agree on
This 1930s mansion is Sri Lanka's most eccentric hotel—part art gallery, part surreal bohemian fever dream. Helga's idiosyncratic vision creates an unforgettable, slightly faded Alice-in-Wonderland atmosphere that exceeds expectations.
“The reality of the place has already exceeded the vision I hold of it in my imagination.”
– Afar Magazine

"A handsome mansion built in the 1930s, run by the eccentric Helga De Silva, the property is now a faded but incredible Alice-in-Wonderland-meets-Hammer-Horror bohemian ghost ride experience." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This hotel/art gallery/surrealist dream has to be the most extraordinary hotel in Sri Lanka. Indeed, the Stereophonics famously wrote the song 'Madame Helga' about the owner." Full review
