Media Reviews
"'Even the most discerning guest will find….Park Street a stylish and opulent haven of peach and relaxation. The attentive staff, dressed in white by day and black come nightfall, are there to tend to your every whim, effortlessly appearing as if from the 250 year-old walls, should any need arise. For a more authentic Sri Lankan hotel experience where attention to detail and personalised service is paramount, Part Street is an ideal alternative to the city’s larger hotels.'"

Location
Located on a leafy by-road in the heart of Colombo, the Park Street Hotel is a small boutique hotel which offers a luxurious and personal alternative to large city five-stars. Park Street lies in the sought-after district of Colombo 7, leaving shopping malls, restaurants and nightclubs within walking distance. The drive from the International Airport is about one hour.
Introduction
Park Street hotel is a beautiful Sri Lankan ancestral home where the intriguing lifestyle of its past owners is blended successfully with contemporary chic living. Conceived by Anilana, one of Sri Lanka's foremost fashion and lifestyle designers, this boutique hotel occupies a 250-year-old colonial bungalow and an adjoining warehouse spread over two acres. The bungalow was once the home of Sheik Salehbhoy Moosajee, whose family have been prominent business and social personalities on the island since the 19th century. Sheik Mosajee’s second wife, Begum Zarina Moosajee, was a flamboyant artist, fashion and social icon of the time. The original bungalow consists of a main lounge area and the luxurious Begam and Saleh suites. Elaborate antiques include ornate chandeliers, Dutch period furniture, and several of Begum’s portraits. Across the swimming pool and the dining area is the old warehouse. It has undergone an amazing transformation and now houses ten luxurious contemporary suites. The third in Taru's unique collection of small hotels, the Park Street Hotel is a triumph and a reflection of her creativity and attention to detail. The high level of personalised service and facilities are ideal for discerning business and leisure travellers alike.
