Maniumpathy

Be taken back to the days of old Ceylon with Maniumpathy, its grand entrance, high ceilings, antique furniture and an old-world, personalised service bringing a touch of elegance to bustling Colombo. In an affluent area in the heart of the city, Victoria Park and the Town Hall are just a few minutes by foot away. In the immediate vicinity, there are also a handful of quaint cafés and art galleries.

Find the beautifully appointed rooms are set around a delightful courtyard style garden. Each features large antique beds, some of which are four-poster, and spacious bathrooms. The Master Suite boasts a private outdoor space, perfect for a more intimate evening soiree. Meanwhile families can enjoy ideal accommodation in the Duplex Family Suite.

The property doesn’t offer much in the sense of facilities as they have worked hard to maintain the colonial feel of this former private mansion. There is a lovely but small pool set in quiet courtyard, which is the ideal escape from the chaos of Colombo’s notoriously busy streets. Guests can enjoy casual alfresco dining in the hotel’s beautiful garden or for a more formal affair, fine dining is offered in the house’s dining room.
