Colombo's finest

Opened in November 2017, Shangri-La's flagship Colombo property promises an experience of contemporary luxury and outstanding service that goes above and beyond that of any hotel in this rapidly emerging city.

Featuring some of the largest hotel rooms in the city, exceptional club-level services, as well as drawing from their world renowned level of attentive service, the Shangri-La Colombo promises to be the ideal setting for a short stay with exceptional standards. Choose from a range of rooms from the tasteful comfort of the Deluxe rooms to the oversized oppulent Suites with their panormic city and ocean views. 

We recommend this hotel for a pre and/or post tour stay. It is easily accessed by a short transfer from the island's international aiport as well as being in a prime city location for exploring the vibrant and ever-growing life of Colombo.

Top notch service and hospitality!

Colombo, Sri Lanka

I was at the Sapphyr Lounge with some friends. Throughout the entire time we were there, we were pampered with the best service we have ever experienced at a hotel in the city. The Manager, Oliver, and his two associates Sam and Danthike were amazing! They helped us with whatever we needed, and made sure to check in on us periodically to make sure we were comfortable. The food is also some of the best, and the ambiance is soothing. Quite a nice place to grab a quick coffee and a snack while having a chat with a friend, while watching the sunset bathe Colombo in its orange rays. Extremely thankful to Oliver, Sam, and Danthike who went above and beyond and showed us what world-class service and hospitality is like. Easily my favorite spot in the city ! 😀
