Residence on Park Street

At the epicenter of Colombo, between Slave Island, Galle green and Viharamahadevi Park, the Residence manages to remain tucked away from the city clamor around its century-old inner pavillion. What could have ended up a members-only address reveals a canvas for harmony of volumes, elements and above all personalised hospitality. Depending on the time or temperature of the day: private patio, pool side, terrace restaurant or cocktails bar each offer a quaint, timeless elegant framework for carpe diem. But the charm of the place wouldn't reveal without the dedication of the whole team, from housekeeping to restaurant to front of house. Silva at the front desk facilitated a last minute reservation for what turned out an ideal urban stay at the heart of Colombo. Not only he alleviated the online booking intricacies but ensured a constant availability throughout. Rarely service is provided with such genuine involvement and flexibility.

I hosted high tea for 12 ladies on 18 August . We expected to be in the main restaurant with the view but got dumped at the back in the hot area. It was too late to change.. however staff previously accommodating, the food was good. But missed being in the room with the view, empty restaurant ! I think the staff could not be bothered tidying up after us because they were expecting people for dinner . There was no one else for afternoon tea they should have done better by giving us some more pleasant ambience which was available if they hadtaken the trouble. The food was reasonable and there was plenty. Price was high at Rs 4298 per head. I am courage to be more generous in accommodating people in the main restaurant when it’s a large group so they can enjoy the view. and the ambience of UGA. I do not wish to be in generous so a score of 4 only, rather than 3 whereas I would have given 5

One of the best experiences I had with customer service. Their restaurant manager Shehan and Shahnaz were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure that our whole experience and our big day was the most wonderful and stress-free time it could have been. Thanks a lot team! Keep up the good work! I highly recommend them for their quality of food and service for events and parties!

What a wonderful, elegant hotel. The suites are beautifully appointed and very spacious. Breakfasts were vast, the staff throughout the hotel were charming and helpful. The highlight was dinner! The chef got a big “thumbs up”. Wish we were coming back and definitely would recommend.

A lovely hotel with character and large spacious rooms. The staff are friendly and because it was raining I had dinner in the hotel one night and it was excellent. Breakfast is pretty good but not up to the same standards but if I lived in Singapore I would even go here for dinner. The prawn starter was so tasty, the bar staff were also helpful

This was a very nice place to beat off the heat and chaos of Colombo. Historic building with large rooms and a nice pool. The Park Street Mews restaurant area was close by and was excellent. When we needed to find a Doctor they directed us to a new, world class private hospital that was outstanding.
