This hotel is the best 5 Star property in Colombo. By infrastructure, it is, Lobby is nice, Rooms are beautiful, Pool is awesome, Restaurants are amazing. But hotel very much lacks human touch. Front Desk staff never smiles - during check-in, check-out Or even when we ask any questions. They are very cold. Mind you this is very busy hotel,... More

The restaurants in the... More

With 2 salons, several stores, restaurants, bars and cafes within the hotel, we hardly had to leave the hotel for anything.
