The Hill Club opened in 1876 as a club for the British tea planters and is now a hotel open to visitors. Log fires, wood panelling and hot-water bottles in the beds are part of the experience. One dining room keeps a formal dress code of jacket and tie for men (the club lends them). Who it suits: travellers who want colonial-club character in Nuwara Eliya. Things to know: one dining room keeps a jacket-and-tie rule for men (the club lends them).
