Zylan Colombo - A boutique hotel with a rooftop pool, tropical-modern design, and personalized service

Zylan Colombo emerged from the transformation of a former villa in Cinnamon Gardens, blending tropical-modern interiors with a slightly rustic charm. The 7-room boutique hotel features a rooftop pool, fitness center, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Guest rooms include flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, minibars, and private bathrooms with rainfall showers; some units offer garden views and terraces. The hotel’s restaurant, ZEN, serves international cuisine and Japanese dishes, with dining options including an open-air terrace, a poolside table, and an air-conditioned sushi bar. Nearby landmarks include the Bandaranaike Museum (1 km) and the Independence Memorial Hall. A 24-hour front desk, concierge services, and dry cleaning are available at Zylan Colombo.
