The Alpine Hotel dates from 1914 and was built as a home of a British tea planter.[1] Later it was bought by the Dodampa Gamage family, who rented out the rooms to visitors. Now a hotel, it retains the old colonial charms and its architecture is one of the few lasting proofs of the bygone British Era.
