SIR EDWARD BARNES AND THE GRAND HOTEL, NUWARA ELIYA Sir Edward Barnes, a distinguished British Army officer and the 5th Governor of Ceylon from 1824 to 1831, played a pivotal role in the development of Nuwara Eliya. His love for the cool climate and serene landscapes of the region led him to establish a residence here, laying the foundation for Nuwara Eliya's transformation into a popular hill station. The Grand Hotel, once his private mansion, stands as a symbol of his legacy. Under his governance, Barnes initiated infrastructure projects that boosted Ceylon's economy, particularly through the expansion of coffee and tea plantations. His connection to The Grand Hotel and Nuwara Eliya reflects his vision of the area as a retreat for British elites, which endures today as a cherished destination. This 5-course degustation menu honor's Sir Edward Barnes' lasting influence, merging colonial history with modern culinary innovation.
