Hotel lake cabin is picturesquely situated in a natural environment from the hustle and bustle of city life facing Parakarama samudrya built by king Parakramabahu the great 1000 years ago. The cabins of the hotel have been built overlooking the Parakarama samudrya and we provide guests with great facilities. As our hotel is close to Polonnaruwa main city, Polonnaruwa sacred city, the museum and other ruins, it is convenient for anyone to explore the area.
