Aathma Colombo House

Colombo

Set in Colombo on a private peninsula by the banks of the historic Diyawanna Lake, Aathma Colombo House provides accommodation with a garden.

The property is located 7 km from R Premadasa Stadium, 7 km from U.S. Embassy and 8 km from Khan Clock Tower. Arcade Independence Square is 4 km away and Sinhalese Sports Club is 4.1 km from the guest house. Amazing boutique hotel, we choose it because of the art and design , but when we arrived it was much more. The hotel upgraded to the room with jacuzzi, but it was the garden and the furniture, the mosaics and the details that fascinated us.
