A blend of traditional and contemporary in the heart of Colombo

THE KINGSBURY Colombo
IN SRI LANKA ’ S CAPITAL CITY , the Kingsbury stands just a few steps from the beach . A five-star cosmopolitan hotel with an abundance of sea-facing windows , it embraces both sides of its unique location . Chic , sophisticated bars , restaurants , and lounges populate the lower floors . The minimalist design of the rooms puts the blues of the sea and gold of the sands at centre-stage , with the lights of the city glowing on either side at night . An infinity pool teeters off into the sea , surrounded by loungers and parasols and the atmospheric pool bar . The three main restaurants at the Kingsbury continue the refined , contemporary feel of the rest of the hotel , with delicate touches in the Harbour Court , which serves food ‘ from the Universe ,’ monochromatic minimalism in the Ocean Seafood Restaurant , which overlooks the lapping waves , and vibrant signature shades of turquoise and teal in the innovative Yue Chuan Chinese restaurant . All food comes served with an unforgettable and luxurious ambience , and delivers exciting and exotic flavours . Drink can also be enjoyed in the Kings Bar in the lobby , or in the Sky Lounge , the most stylish bar in Colombo . The Kingsbury standard of luxury continues in the Senses Spa , which offers a vast menu of treatments , from Italian Hot Stone Massages to Aromatherapy , in serene rooms lit by candles . Excellent access to the most cultural areas of the city of Colombo makes this hotel a favourite for clients looking to sample both the urban and tranquil sides of Sri Lanka .
