Legendary Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa has given the island many gorgeous public buildings and luxurious inns, the latter typically booked up months upfront. However Tropical Modernism followers quick on time (and funds) can snag an evening or two at this mattress and breakfast within the coronary heart of Colombo. Bawa renovated it as a non-public dwelling for famend Sri Lankan live performance pianist Druvi de Saram in 1986, and it’s at the moment maintained by the Geoffrey Bawa Belief. Spacious and characterful rooms apart, the highlights of the gracefully growing old property are its clay-coloured courtyard and the art-filled piano room (request a tour from the property supervisor).
