Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo

A 1930s colonial mansion named, with a straight face, for the Cornish castle where King Arthur was born. That's the spirit of this ten-suite boutique hotel in Colombo's Cinnamon Gardens, where the Paradise Road design brand has turned a rambling residential pile into something genuinely cosmopolitan. Suites are all different, dark-colored, and plush; a moody cocktail bar and a modern restaurant ensure locals fill the common spaces as reliably as guests do.
