To be in the position where your children become unwell overseas is extremely stressful, we were fortunate however to experience a service at Shangri-la Colombo that went above and beyond my expectations of any accomodation. A particular mention to the chefs- particularly the head chef who prepared special meals to accomodate my 2 year old sons recovery, the restaurant staff, the hotel staff who daily asked of my childrens wellbeing & empathising being parents themselves. The volume of housekeeping we required was WELL above our quota but not once was there a single comment. A particular mention of the restaurant manager (Maki); who on one occasion upon seeing my level of distress experiencing this kind of event while being away from home responded- "while you are away from home, separated from your own family- you become a part of ours here", numerous occasions during our stay you offered if we required "absolutely any assistance" possible to simply contact you, this individual is an absolute asset to Shangri-la chain, i can't emphasize that enough, he was incredibly helpful. I realise there is a certain level of expectation when staying at higher end accomodation, this experience excelled above and beyond. I would without hesitation recommend any family stay here, it's especially when the unexpected occurs travelling this kind of support exceeds any monetary considerations. Thank you Shangri-la Colombo!!! ❤️🇱🇰

Such a great hotel, such great food and the service was excellent! Pasan was great providing us with copious chai, non stop requests and was great all round, Eranda was excellent too. I wish I remembered everyone’s name, but would recommend the stay for their service alone - couldn’t do enough for us. Hotel rooms were clean, would recommend their half board option (some of the best food we had in Sri Lanka) and great shower facility too.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Shangri-La Colombo from 14th to 19th October 2025, and I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional hospitality we experienced throughout our stay. While every member of the team was attentive, courteous, and welcoming, we would especially like to extend a special shout-out to Chef Dishan and Pradeep from the Central restaurant. Their genuine warmth, professionalism, and personal attention truly elevated our mornings. Each day, they went above and beyond to ensure our breakfast experience was not only delicious but also memorable. From remembering our preferences to greeting us with a smile and kind words, they made us feel right at home. It’s rare to come across such dedication and passion in hospitality, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and attention they showed us. Thanks to them, our mornings started on a high note, setting the tone for wonderful days in Colombo. We look forward to returning to Shangri-La Colombo in the future and hope to see these two outstanding team members again. Please pass on our sincere thanks and appreciation to Chef Dishan and Pradeep for making our stay so special.
