ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo offers 5-star accommodation with a sauna. My stay at ITC Colombo was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we checked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The staff are exceptional—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely eager to make your stay perfect. A special mention must go to Amanda, whose courteous and caring attitude made a lasting impression. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, making me feel truly valued as a guest. The rooms are modern, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. Every element—from the comfortable bedding to the smart technology—reflects luxury and thoughtful design. I was lucky to have a room overlooking both the sea and the lake, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The breakfast buffet deserves a special highlight. It was one of the best I’ve experienced anywhere—an incredible spread featuring both local Sri Lankan delicacies, a lot of Indian and international favorites, all freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Overall, my experience at ITC Colombo was flawless. The combination of elegant interiors, exceptional dining, stunning views, and world-class hospitality makes it a true gem in Colombo.

Set in Colombo, 200 metres from Kollupitiya Beach, Sheraton Colombo Hotel features views of the sea. With free WiFi, this 5-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The property has a year-round outdoor pool, fitness centre, sauna and shared lounge. The staff here are extremely welcoming and attentive. That's the first thing that struck us as we walked into the hotel. While making conversation when checking in we mentioned to Carder the duty Manager that the reason for our stay was my wife's birthday. He very kindly upgraded us to a "Club" room on a high floor and had a small cake and card sent up to the room when we got in. Very touching gesture! The room was tastefully furnished, comfortable, clean and had all the modern amenities with a great view of the sea and part of the city. A perfect location for business or vacation!

Facing the beachfront, Nuwa Sri Lanka at City of Dreams offers 5-star accommodation in Colombo and has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and restaurant. Boasting a bar, the hotel is close to several noted attractions, around 600 metres from Galle Face Beach, 700 metres from One Galle Face and 1.4 km from Colombo City Centre Shopping Mall. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a shuttle service, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. My extensive experience with high-quality hotels in numerous countries meant I had no particular expectations upon arrival. It is not my custom to compose reviews, as my primary objective is to enjoy my stay. Nevertheless, I was most agreeably surprised by the Hotel Nuwa in City of Dreams. The courteous personnel and management demonstrated remarkable attentiveness in catering to my every requirement. A notably valuable amenity is the provision of a personal butler, designed for guests desiring an indulgent experience.

Featuring a terrace, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features a kids' club and room service for guests. We stayed for 3 nights in this wonderful castle, we occupied all their 4 rooms (one more room was out of booking for maintenance reasons), the personal is great, they welcomed and did their best to make our stay unforgettable. The weather is better then the coastal one as you are literally in the mountains surrounded by forests. Definitely will come there again

Shangri-La Colombo presents a new level of luxury in the city. Located in the heart of the business and entertainment district, the hotel offers the various collection of guestrooms with stunning views of the Indian Ocean, Beira Lake or cityscape. The property has 3 innovative restaurants and 2 bars, and it is Colombo’s largest and stylish event spaces. 5 star hotel. Room bit outdated. Otherwise confortable and located on the sea. Beach not really to visit (the Port City will most probably upgrade it in the future). Great breakfast (as ShangriLa has). Good in-house restaurants but expensive. The food was nevertheless very good. Nice pool on 4th floor. Extra services (transfers, spa , etc) way overpriced (transfer to airport was 75 usd quoted by the hotel while a reputable taxi Kangaroo company with invoice and metre took me to the airport for 23 usd). Conected to a Mall with lots of shopping oportunities.

Cinnamon Lakeside is located along the banks of Beira Lake in Colombo, 10 minutes’ drive from Crescat Boulevard shopping mall. It features 9 dining options and a full-service health club.

Guests can swim in the outdoor pool. The hotel also has tennis and squash courts and a gym. Exclusive to guests, The Library is a lounge by day and a club by night. Nice decent size room with a swimming pool right in front of the lake and the view of the Lotus tower. My main highlights were the breakfast and dinner. The wide variety and selection was out of this world and you get to try different cuisines as well. By far, the best restaurant I've been to in a hotel. Breakfast has a variety of European and Asian selections which was a nice touch. Also, it's location in downtown Colombo is great which is just a few minutes drive to the shopping mall and the Lotus Tower.

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.

Fitted with wooden flooring, most rooms at Galle Face Hotel offer views of the Indian Ocean, Galle Face Green or Colombo City. They are equipped with a TV and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. A minibar and a personal safe are included. Fantastic historical hotel. Felt like I was transported back to the 1920's.
