Tintagel is housed in a stunning heritage building of national importance, once the family home of three of Sri Lanka’s political leaders, one of whom was Mrs Sirimavo Bandaranaike, the world’s first female Prime Minister.

Experience

The Dining Roomis a chic restaurant which offerssome of Colombo’s finest international cuisine. The Courtyard, is a truly inviting al fresco restaurant with white armchairs under smart black umbrellas, which in the evening is transformed to a magical candle lit space. The hotel does not have a liquor license, but guests are encouraged to bring their own as the excellent staff is more than happy to chill a bottle of wine or mix an exotic cocktail.

Outside the hotel Colombo is a compact city which is easy to explore.
