A 250 yr old colonial bungalow and adjoining stores/warehouses that occupy an extent of 2 acres of land in the heart of Colombo is now the newly refurbished charming, friendly 12-room boutique hotel, The Park Street Hotel. It is one of the few remaining bungalows of its kind in Colombo, formerly the home of a colourful and eccentric couple who were members of Colombo’s "elite".

Ideal for the knowledgeable world-traveller, and anyone wanting a more authentic Sri Lankan hotel experience than the only other "Big/Chain Hotel" options in Colombo, it is also eminently suited to the top-end business traveller needing an exclusive environment to have meetings or entertain VIP clients
