Tintagel
Situated in the heart of Colombo this stunning heritage hotel is of great national importance since it used to be home to the country's most famous ruling family, the Bandaranaikes. Transformed into a chic boutique hotel by lifestyle designer Shanth Fernando of Paradise Road and The Gallery Cafe fame, the mansion has been stylishly refurbished with a new wing perfectly blended onto the rear. High ceilings, ornate columns and polished wooden floors reflect the grandeur of the era and seamlessly blend with the contemporary interior design.Each of the ten suites is unique and intricately styled, most having the luxury of their own fully furnished private balcony or spacious terrace brimming with greenery. Lavishly decorated in a daring blend of colour and texture using exquisite furnishings and rich fabrics each suite preserves its individuality. Service is sensational and your every comfort is assured; sleep serenely between 400-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and sample the delights of the hotel's specially designed pillow menu.
Guests staying at Tintagel have a varied choice of atmospheric dining locations and since The Gallery Cafe is famed as one of the top eateries in Colombo, you also have the opportunity of indulging in some of the capital's most excellent cuisine. After having your fill, cosy up in style on the comfy black leather sofas in the crimson-hued Red Bar and indulge in after-dinner drinks before heading back to the exclusivity of your own luxurious suite. The gorgeous lap pool, serene spa and steam room enhance the tranquillity of this centrally-located city hotel and provide you with ample respite from shopping and sightseeing.
