“What strikes me is the tranquility, despite its Cinnamon Gardens address near the Independence Square. There's a distinct Sri Lankan aesthetic at play, with light-filled rooms overlooking lush gardens, and a local café that seems central to the experience. It feels ideal for families, especially with those interconnected rooms.”
