Colombo 7

Tintagel Colombo

An eleven-suite design hotel in the prime minister's old residence.

Our verdict

Tintagel is Colombo's most architecturally significant small hotel — eleven suites inside the former Bandaranaike family residence (later Sri Lanka's official prime ministerial home). Discreet from the road, lavish behind the gates. The most refined small-hotel option in Colombo.
