|
Set in the heart of the capital Colombo and within easy reach of all of the city’s sights, shops and attractions, Havelock Bungalow is an elegant boutique retreat cherished by those ‘in the know’. Sri Lanka in Style highly recommends Havelock Bungalow.  “For a homely atmosphere where service is at a premium, Havelock Bungalow is highly recommended. With just a few rooms set within a secluded garden, it is ideal for guests looking for a hotel in Colombo with character, personality and warmth”, commented Daminda de Silva, GM of Sri Lanka In Style. Havelock Bungalow’s suites and rooms each benefit from their own courtyard or garden access meaning that they offer guests both privacy and accessibility. The rooms are each uniquely designed and stylishly furnished with genuine antiques including canopied four-poster beds, interesting writing bureaus and wardrobes. Before this property was opened as a hotel, it was initially an art gallery and you will notice fascinating prints still hugging the walls of each room, especially in the cosy living room which, along with the library, is the main focal point of the property. “For a homely atmosphere where service is at a premium, Havelock Bungalow is highly recommended.
