Maniumpathy in Colombo 00700, open January–December.
Built in the early 1900s as a colonial-era mansion, Maniumpathy has been meticulously restored to preserve its architectural heritage while offering modern wedding facilities.
Located on Kynsey Road in the heart of Colombo, this historic hotel blends period charm with contemporary hospitality.
The venue maintains 8 individually appointed rooms across its restored property, accommodating intimate celebrations and mid-sized gatherings.
We spent 3 nights a Manuimpathy. This is an exceptional boutique hotel with truly freindly, welcoming professional service where nothing was too much trouble and the team went out of their way to help. The beautiful rooms are set around a well designed and maintained garden courtyard. We had opted for bed and breakcfast and the breakfasts were outstanding, so much so we dined at the hotel in the evening and they too were delicious; just the ticket after exploring many corners of this amazing city during the day. We will stay at Maniumpathy again when we next visit Colombo.
