ROYALTY AND MAGNIFICENT VIEWS ARE A HEADY MIX AT THE LAKE HOUSE IN POLONNARUWA Waking up in the king-sized bed once slept in by Queen Elizabeth II, with a view across a man-made lake to the ramparts of an ancient city once occupied by Sri Lankan royalty, is a heady experience. Lake House was the former Polonnaruwa Rest House before being transformed into an overnight sanctuary for the visit of Britain’s reigning monarch on her first Commonwealth tour since her coronation five months previously. Things were simpler back in 1954, and the Queen’s room, and the restaurant jutting out into the lake, were relatively simple affairs created especially for her. Comfortable, but not particularly lavish. But times change, and that former rest house has now been transformed into a rather more palatial luxury boutique hotel by its current owners, the Ceylon Hotels Corporation, managed by the Galle Face Hotels Group.
