Combines modern-day comfort with an old-world ambience
JETWING JAFFNA Jaffna
IN THE HEART OF JAFFNA , Jetwing Jaffna offers an authentic taste of traditional North Sri Lanka . Guests are introduced to the individual style of the interior through the intricately shaped pattern of the façade and the golden teardrop design behind the reception desk . Public rooms are dominated by dark browns and greens that hark back to the agricultural traditions of inland Sri Lanka , but with the refined touches of the cosmopolitan city that Jaffna is quickly becoming . The bar is shaped out of carved wood , with squares of red material draped across the ceiling and large dark-framed windows that look out through the exterior intricate carving , as do the windows in the restaurant . Low wooden benches , which have a distinctly antique feel , add character to the high-ceilinged , exceptionally modern room , as does the food , which refines the most popular flavours of the north and utilises only the freshest seafood . The unique features of the guestrooms , including the carved wooden headboards , the low-hanging silver lamps that seem to mimic the teardrop shape of Sri Lanka , and the subtly ornate wallpaper , indicate why every room is considered ‘ deluxe .’ Balconies afford guests stunning views across the rooftops , with the Jaffna clock tower and the sea visible on one side .
