This iconic and colonial-style hotel, built in 1864, boasts a spa and a saltwater pool with sun loungers that faces the vast Indian Ocean.

Beautiful colonial hotel with a wealth of history behind it. Staff couldn’t be more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The downside was that from the photos it looks like a hotel on the beach when in reality it’s not a beach you can access easily and sit on and the sea is too rocky and dangerous to swim in. Also got food poisoning from a hotel burger. Overall it’s a must visit hotel due to its history and elegance

Nestled in the heart of Colombo City, a boutique Colombo Court Hotel & Spa is just a 15-minute walk from MC Shopping Mall.

This is such a beautiful space — a little gem to arrive at after landing from Mumbai, offering a peaceful escape from the busy roads outside. The staff are absolutely wonderful: always smiling, kind, and incredibly considerate. You couldn’t ask for more🙏

Wallawwa is a restored colonial manor house siting on 3 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens, only 15 minutes' drive from Bandaranaike International Airport.

Stunning historic Mena house in a perfect location between Colombo and Colombo airport. The hotel is a true gem. Local cuisine is served at the restaurant ( amazing ) and the swimming pool is a great place to relax and unwind. Had one of the best massages of my life at the hotel spa ! I truly recommend it!

    Perfect for a short stay in Colombo at the beginning or end of trip around Sri Lanka. Boutique feel with lovely designed rooms and all felt safe and secure. Huge perk was Cafe Kumbuk downstairs with great coffee, food and vibe.
