Crafted by environmental designer Sunela Jayewardene, Colombo Courtyard is a breath of fresh air for the city’s options of accommodation and indulgence. Colombo Courtyard is crafted around the concept of a series of open spaces, conscious lighting patterns and the use of recycled elements in its unique sculptures and artful décor. Striking works of art include the installation of a giant creeper of a range of recycled metal that runs through the three floors of the hotel and the pool courtyard which immediately transports you to a soothing setting. Remarkable accents found across the hotel such as lampshades made of recycled bicycle and three-wheeler parts give Colombo Courtyard a distinct flavour.

Coupled with its rustic charm, Colombo Courtyard offers luxury accommodation. The spacious suites offer a separate seating area and state of the art fixtures including a 42 inch LED screen and an iMac desktop. Hosts of other well thought out amenities such a cappuccino maker, a juice maker and even a wine cooler are sure to have every guest spoil themselves.

Situated on the ground level this accommodation offers a heightened sense of space with a courtyard lined with tropical plants and pebbles.
