This grandiose, majestically-proportioned apartment occupies the entire top floor of the old wing and has two fully air-conditioned king size bedrooms, each leading off to their own attached bathrooms and oversized showers. With its private, full-length colonnaded verandah, this is the largest hotel suite in Sri Lanka.

Original shuttered windows, twelve-inch teak floorboards, and fifteen-foot lime-washed ceilings are part of an original design by the Comte de Mauny, the Edwardian 'faux noble' who escaped to Ceylon after his English wife found him in bed with his valet .

It is possible to rent just one of the apartment’s suites and share the living room and verandah.
