Tintagel – Boutique Heritage Hotel in Colombo

Paradise Road Tintagel is a boutique hotel, situated in one of Colombo's most fashionable districts. Named after the castle in Cornwall where King Arthur was purportedly born, it has been redesigned by Colombo trendsetter Shanth Fernando. Having founded Paradise Road, the design and lifestyle brand, he soon added a hospitality element to his style empire. Today, Tintagel is his vision of Colombo as a cosmopolitan capital, filled with artwork and stylish elements.

Housed in a stunning heritage building, Tintagel has a historic significance as it was home to the Bandaranaike family with Sri Lanka’s two Prime Ministers and the President. Leased to Uday Shanth Fernando by the family, it is now Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo, a unique private hotel. There are just 10 individually designed, high-ceilinged suites, all elegantly furnished with spacious lounge areas and souvenirs from Fernando’s wanderlust. 

The Court Yard restaurant has a lovely garden where guests can take breakfast, and its spacious balcony is a choice spot for a romantic dinner. While the exquisite Dining Room with a Flemish chandelier, serves a menu with international contemporary cuisine. On the ground floor, six life-size statues overlook the long, narrow swimming pool and a French château mirror hangs in the Red Bar. Tintagel guests can take complimentary transport to Paradise Road and get a 10% discount.
