A Tour of Colonial Sri Lanka
Colombo - Kandy - Hill Country - GalleDelve into Sri Lanka’s colonial past, exploring the Portuguese, Dutch and British influences that have helped shape modern Sri Lanka.
Tintagel is a beautiful period property with a significant history set in a great location for exploring Colombo’s sights and shops. As one of the Paradise Road properties, it has been exquisitely renovated and the interiors are stylish and elegant. There are 10 suites in total, all with polished wooden floors, crisp white linen, flat screen tvs and large bathrooms with tubs. The Royal Suite is so named after a recent visit from the Prince of Wales and with the property’s discreet, private yet luxurious feel you can understand why he chose to stay here. There is a small lap pool in the courtyard as well as a gym and a spa and the smart Red Bar and Dining Room are popular with residents and locals alike.
Many visitors to Sri Lanka choose to avoid Colombo altogether just thinking it just a busy, noisy city with not much to offer. However, Colombo has developed a lot over the last few years and now is well worth a visit, with plenty of interesting cultural and religious sites to visit as well as a huge array of smart shops and restaurants to enjoy. If you are looking for a private, boutique hotel in the heart of the city you can do no better than Tintagel as the accommodation is beautifully finished and the facilities are excellent for such a small property. The high levels of service and peaceful ambience make it the perfect oasis in the centre of this vibrant city.
