Casa Colombo skimmed another award for its extremely stylish Design and won a 5-Star award at the hotly-contested Bloomberg International Hotel Awards held in Shanghai this year.

Casa Colombo was awarded as having the Best Hotel Interior in Sri Lanka. The 5-Star award is the highest award given to leading properties in the world that are engaged in hospitality, retail, leisure and residential.

In addition to this prestigious award, Casa Colombo has also been nominated by the well-respected ‘World Travel Awards’ Committee for three categories, which are - Asia’s Leading Boutique Hotel 2011, Sri Lanka’s Leading Hotel and Sri Lanka’s Leading Business Hotel. The results of these nominations will be announced end of November 2011.

Furthermore, Casa Colombo was awarded Exceptional status by Tripadvisor.com, which is rated entirely by guests who have stayed at Casa Colombo. This recognition shows that Casa Colombo not only excels in its aesthetic appeal, but also surpasses and delights its guest in exceptional customer service and care.

The awards and nominations are a testament to Casa Colombo, and Casa Colombo is a stunning tribute to the eclectic talents of its owner, entrepreneur and designer Lalin Michael Jinasena. Every piece of furniture and décor was custom designed by Lalin and made in Sri Lanka.

Not only do these awards applaud Lalin’s eye for design as one of the best in the world, but they are also a testament to Sri Lanka’s capability to manufacture world class furniture and décor and compete with other better known manufacturing countries like Italy and Indonesia.

Multitalented Lalin Jinasena has an unparalleled, genial style, his boho-designs give Casa Colombo a hedonic appeal and the Sri Lankan materials, arts and portraits hang throughout the hotel giving context to the designer’s overtones. Its tongue-in-cheek blend of the old mansion with a swish and stylish interior is what has won Casa Colombo so much fame and recognition throughout the world.

It has been featured in the Wallpaper, AD, Elle Décor and many more prestigious publications, including being what the Luxe City Guide loves in Sri Lanka. It was also rated as one of the best hotels in the world in 2008 when it was ranked in the Conde Nast Hotlist. Recently the hotel was featured in a coffee table book called Design Destinations, which listed the most influential designs of the modern world.

Drop in to Casa Colombo and you will discover that one of the most hailed and famous designer hotels of the world is actually right in your very own City of Colombo. Book one of the grand suites, laze by the pale-pink pool and feast on divine food in one of its excellent restaurants. First you will fancy Casa Colombo, because of its décor, style and luxury, but once you stay, you may never want to leave Casa Colombo.
