Maniumpathy, Colombo

Housed in a stately colonial building on the outskirts of the well-heeled Cinnamon Gardens neighbourhood, Maniumpathy is ranked amongst the finest of Colombo’s hotels.

Passed down through five generations of the same Sri Lankan family, Maniumpathy was transformed by its latest owners into a chic boutique retreat of just eight rooms. A tranquil, discreet base from which to explore, with outstanding personalised service and an excellent location in the heart of Colombo close to art galleries, restaurants and national monuments. 

The guestrooms, while equipped with all the modern amenities, have their historical character preserved through vintage-style furniture, antiques and framed family photographs. The laidback Nandi Restaurant, set in a courtyard overlooking the pool, serves from a menu of international and Sri Lankan cuisine. Dine on your private balcony or book the Grand Ebony Room with its linen-draped 16-seater table and dimly lit antique chandeliers. Award-winning chefs are on-hand to prepare meals personalised to your taste buds.
