Introduction
Colombo Court Hotel & Spa has 32 rooms that blend comfortable living with contemporary, environmentally-conscious style.

A swimming pool and a separate Pool Wing were added in 2013 providing more facilities. Colombo Court Hotel & Spa is equipped to cater to holiday as well as business travellers.

Why we like it
A dimly-lit rooftop bar with late-night music at weekends appeals to a youthful clientele.
