Shangri-La Colombo stretches along the seafront at Galle Face, overlooking the historic Galle Face Green and the Indian Ocean in the heart of the city. It is a large city hotel with 541 rooms, suites and serviced apartments, all with uninterrupted ocean or lake views, including Horizon Club rooms with lounge access. It connects directly to the hotel’s own One Galle Face mall, so shopping and more dining are a step away. Dining runs to seven restaurants and bars, led by the Chinese Shang Palace and the Capital Bar & Grill, with the all-day Central and several lounges and bars. CHI, The Spa draws on Asian healing and Ceylonese botanicals across seven private rooms, and there is an outdoor pool and a health club. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a polished, full-service city base with sea views and a mall on the doorstep.
