About Residence By Uga Escapes

Situated on hip and happening Park Street, this refurbished 19th century mansion is a perfect jumping-off point to explore Colombo. The lakeside neighbourhood is a firm favourite in the wining and dining stakes and the city's most-visited Buddhist temple, the Gangaramaya Vihara, is a mere stroll away. But despite this uber-central location, the Residence manages to retain an air of tranquility. In fact, we would happily describe it as a haven of peace, albeit a glamorous one! The 11 suites are spacious and incredibly luxurious and all have access to small courtyards. There's even a 15-metre pool to cool off in - and not many central hotels can claim that.

Colombo, Sri Lanka

What you'll love

The space. The Residence offers some of the biggest bedrooms in the city.

Insiders tip

Don't skip the hotel restaurant. Rare is rated as one of the bests dining spots in the city, with a menu that includes cinnamon-smoked lobster, spiced caramel pork belly and paneer thermidor - we'd fly straight out for that!

Something to think about

There's no wheelchair access.

The property

Grand, opulent, luxurious are all words to describe the Residence, and you can expect plush interiors and beautiful fabrics that all perfectly complement the historic exterior. This hotel isn't all fur coat and no knickers though, and there are excellent amenities to enjoy: a 15-metre swimming pool (bliss on a hot day!), a small fitness centre, garden courtyards, and that award winning restaurant.

The rooms

There are 11 suites in total and 10 of them are identical with a key theme being space - and lots of it. All have king-size beds and are adorned with Belgian rugs and ornate decor, and there are small courtyards outside that can be used for private dining. It's the Residence Suite that really makes us gasp, however. Fit for royalty, it features all of the above as well as an additional bedroom, bathroom, enormous living room and 900-square foot courtyard!

Activities

Colombo is a cultural hot spot so expect days packed with exciting excursions. Take a tour of the city's best street food, enjoy a tea tasting (arguably the Sri Lanka's most famous export) and stroll through the famous cultural sites to see how it was shaped by Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim and Christian influences.
