    Thank you so much Sheneller for presenting this wonderful video clip about this amazing hotel. As a National Tourist Guide Lecturer and a Geologist I've had the luck of visiting and staying at this wonderful property through a long period of time. One German architect commented this is one of the best properties he had seen anywhere in the world and that Bawa is not only a great architect but also a wonderful artist. Many foreigners were fascinated that a Sri Lankan architect has reached such heights. Sheneller you have presented this video (and many others) in a fascinating way. Thank you so much. Keep on promoting this beautiful island further. All the best. Vielen Dank.
