“There's a distinct Scottish influence here, unexpectedly set in the heart of Colombo's business district, dating back to 1835. I noted the spacious, well-appointed rooms, each equipped with modern amenities, and the particularly attentive housekeeping team, that can deliver anything you need in minutes. The on-site pub provides a relaxed dining option, especially welcome after a day navigating the nearby Pettah Market and One Galle Mall.”
