A Tea Factory Hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka with a 100-Year Legacy

A Heritage Tea Factory Hotel in Ella
Set among the rolling tea estates of Ella, Newburgh Ella is a restored tea factory hotel shaped by Sri Lanka’s hill country heritage. Once a working factory, the century-old building has been carefully restored, with original elements preserved to reflect its past. Newburgh Ella was modernised in 2009 to produce Chinese-style green tea and later won the Best Green Tea Factory award at the National Tea Awards. Today, perfected by Browns Group, the world’s largest tea manufacturer, the hotel carries a level of authenticity rooted in real tea expertise. With its iconic orange chimney, Ella Gap views, cool mountain air, and access to nearby sections of the globally recognised Pekoe Trail, Newburgh Ella offers a stay closely connected to the rhythm of Sri Lanka’s tea country.
