Hi Im Glenn, I own & run "27" along with my Sri Lankan wife Fiona
Incorporating modern asian interiors, yet keeping the old Colombo colonial feel, enjoy your home away from home. Our three guest rooms are elegantly styled and complimented by ancestral antique furniture and original artworks by local artists including the owners renowned artistic family. Set back from busy Colombo, we have created our own "Oasis", yet we are in a truly convenient location, within walking distance to restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets and department stores. Enjoy our highly rated breakfasts, or indeed ask us to create a local meal for you, we often have guests coming back to Colombo just to experience our meals and our hospitality. We strive to assist all of our guests in enjoying what makes Colombo and indeed Sri Lanka unique. Using our vast experience of this amazing country we love assisting guests in seeking out undiscovered areas of this beautiful country. Because we care about our guests all of our taxes and fees are included in our room price advertised. Come and enjoy the best of what Colombo has while experiencing a true Sri Lankan home experience.
"27" is the family home of one of your hosts Fiona. Fiona along with her husband Glenn son Yannick and house keeper Sita have welcomed guests from all corners of the world since 2014. They have travelled to all corners of this amazing country and have a vast knowledge of local cuisine, customs and all the different experiences that make this country an amazing place to visit. Because "27" is not a large establishment Fiona and Glenn offer one on one assistance wherever possible to assist you in making the most of your time in Colombo and indeed the rest off this amazing country. If they dont know something then its not worth knowing.
Colombo is an unusual city in that it doesn't actually have a city centre as such. Initially the city of Colombo was centred around the Fort/ Pettah areas, and its in these areas that you find some examples of the Dutch period in Colombo. However in the late 1800s this area became dirty due too heavy maritime activity, and so the British planned a new city just to the south. This area was situated within the area of what was then a cinnamon estate originally planted in the Dutch period. Within this area they planned a new city centre with a new town hall a museum as well as grand homes, hotels and restaurants . Its in this area that "27" now resides, and Colombo 5 is one of the best and safest areas in Colombo, infact our President himself lives just two blocks away from "27". Our home is within walking distance to shops, supermarkets and some of the most popular restaurants in Colombo. Indeed Independence square (10 min on foot) is also within this area, as is the Paradise road gallery cafe and the Barefoot cafe. The old area of Fort station and Pettah is less than 20 minutes by Tuk Tuk depending on Colombo's mad traffic.
