A luxury city hotel with infectious personality

HERITANCE NEGOMBO Negombo
THE HERITANCE NEGOMBO offers spacious , modern accommodation , gourmet cuisine , and a convenient location for relaxing on the beach and exploring the cultural sites of Negombo . The public spaces are dominated by large windows , with sea and city views , and interesting architectural features , such as cone-shaped pillars rising out of the spiral staircase , which give the contemporary rooms character . The guestrooms are unique and sophisticated , with bold bursts of blue , turquoise , green , and yellow that establish a tropical , yet serene , theme . Textured headboards and abundant soft , light wood add to the natural , organic feel . Looking back at the hotel from the beach , the lagoon-esque swimming pool , lined with palm trees , seems to be a mirage : totally idyllic , with refreshing water and soft grass to lounge on . Heritance Negombo has two main dining options . Blue Tan serves a vibrant banquet of Sri Lankan and international food , and Big Fish specialises in day-fresh fish , seasoned with regional spices , and dished up in the coconut grove . The See Bar & Lounge incorporates a rustic touch , with a vaulted wooden roof and a veranda that gives you direct access to the beach . Across the road , the hotel-owned Banyan square offers authentic tapas bars , wine-tasting experiences , and the Swiss Bakery and Café , which serves fresh pastries . Situated on the hotel rooftop , the spa offers the most rewarding sense of seclusion and peace ; bubbling hot tubs look out across the sea , and spa treatments are derived from centuries-old tradition . Heritance Negombo is perfect for a few days of urban interest , but still captures all the tranquillity of the smaller Sri Lankan hotels .
