The hotel was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed high tea in the lobby, pool, sauna and health & wellness facilities. I only wish the hotel was a bit more mindful about guest experience when booking main restaurant for corporate events. Better communication and more dining options would be helpful.

When you arrive, this greeting area and lounge is an indication of the service and experience you are about to have. From the dinning experiences, the gym facility and lounge experiences are truly amazing. Add onto that personal touches with gustatory experiences at the Sapphyr lounge with Maneesha, Aakib, Navodya, Shalika, Harsha. They showed warmth and attention to detail making our experience memorable.

The staff were very kind and very helpful. We loved the hoppers and the Sri Lankan soup in the morning buffet. I wish they had more authentic Sri Lankan dishes offered at the dinner buffet. We ate there twice and would have loved to have jackfruit curry as well as banana curry. The room is very comfortable. I asked for blankets and we directly got them. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Probably, if not the best hotel in Colombo. I was assigned to a room that faces the sea as well as Biera Lake. The hotel, which is also accessible through one of the largest mall is a huge bonus. This gives plenty of options for food. The breakfast at the hotel was amazing. Certainly will return if I’m headed back to Colombo.

The selection for their morning breakfast buffet is very varied. The staff is busy during rush hour; they seem overwhelmed at times. Their housekeeping standards cannot match those of their properties in Hong Kong or mainland China. The Chinese restaurant Shang Gong is one of the best in the country, and its staff is very attentive and courteous.
