    Helga’s Folly

    October 7, 2023 in Sri Lanka ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    I learned about Helga's Folly Anti-Hotel Residence from Atlas Obscura. This anti-hotel is a labor of love by the eccentric Helga de Silva Blow Perera. The building is decked out in whimsical art, some of which Helga herself painted. Her favorite themes appear to be Alice in Wonderland, skeletons, frogs, and insects.

    One can stay in this hotel for $100 per night or dine there for $20, but I imagine the sensory overload would not make for a relaxing experience. While we were there, we did not observe any evidence of guests in residence.
