Amari Colombo has positioned itself as a gateway for travellers seeking to discover Sri Lanka, combining Thai-inspired hospitality with the character and culture of its Sri Lankan setting. The upper-upscale hotel has offered an introduction to the destination and a base from which to experience more of the island.
The hotel has been located in the heart of Colombo, where historic temples, colonial architecture and markets have sat alongside contemporary restaurants, cafés and galleries. Galle Face Green has offered a glimpse of everyday Colombo, while Pettah, Gangaramaya Temple and Colombo Fort have revealed different layers of the city. Food has formed an essential part of the experience, with hoppers, kottu roti, aromatic curries and fresh seafood.
Beyond Colombo, travellers have journeyed to Kandy, the cultural capital, with the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and Kandy Lake. The central highlands have featured tea plantations, waterfalls and cooler mountain air. The southern coast has led to Galle Fort, a UNESCO-listed site with colonial-era architecture and independent boutiques. Wildlife experiences have included elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and the Sri Lankan leopard.
