COLOMBO, Sri Lanka
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts unveiled the Mövenpick Hotel Colombo in the Sri Lanka Capital.
The 24-floor modern building is the first international five-star property to open in the city in 25 years. It’s also the destination’s first urban hotel and introduces a ‘vertical experience’ like no other, with every floor, from the ground to the roof, offering a different themed concept, taking guests on a journey of discovery.
Set to become a Colombo icon, this edgy, but sophisticated property is characterized by its modern architecture. The diamond-shaped exterior blends well with the organic hanging gardens, boasting some 14,310 plants.
All 219 guest rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows, the Rooftop Bar boasts city and ocean views and the property’s inventive culinary offering promises fun and theatre with a unique design edge.
“We are offering guests a vertical experience like no other, giving them the opportunity to view the beauty of Colombo from a new perspective and across many exciting concepts,” said Andreas Mattmüller, CEO, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Middle East and South Asia.
Located in the heart of the city’s thriving business, commercial and political district, close to the city’s Pola–the bustling local market-and several historical sites, the property’s open-plan design with oversized windows gives a sense of space.
All of the guest rooms, including the Junior Suites, Executive Suites and the Presidential Suite, are luxuriously furnished and provide access to the rooftop infinity pool and Jacuzzi.
The property offers the largest executive lounge and rooms in the city as well as a dedicated business traveler reception, while banquet facilities include five meeting rooms and a boardroom totaling about 4,700 square feet.
The dining experience is the heart and soul of the hotel, with seven bar and restaurant concepts. They include the Brasserie, Colombo’s first in-hotel classic French restaurant; Robata Grill & Lounge serving Japanese cuisine and sushi; all-day-dining venue AYU; Vistas Rooftop Bar & Lounge; the exclusive Mansion bar and night lounge; the chic Lobby Lounge; and the Pool Bar.
