The Kingsbury Hotel: A Luxurious Abode in Colombo
I was initially terrified about staying at the Kingsbury Hotel in Colombo since it had just been the target of a bomb assault. However, as soon as I got to the property, the terror vanished. The luggage scanner at the hotel entry assured me that no unattended items would be permitted. I strolled across the hotel’s sumptuously rich lobby, which was filled with gorgeous decor and chandeliers, while my luggage was scanned.
After observing other satisfied customers, I was happy to be staying at this five-star hotel that provides both excellent service and security. My stay, however, was sponsored by Sri Lanka Tourism Board. Despite arriving early in the morning, check-in was prompt. The room key was given over to me in a matter of minutes. Those few minutes were spent chowing down on the delectable welcome drink. The porter service dutifully delivered my bags to my room.
The Kingsbury Hotel Colombo offered me a room that was clad in off-white elegance. Whether it’s the walk-in closet, the business desk, the carpet, or the wall colours, everything is done in an off-white elegance.
An all-white space is to an interior designer what a blank canvas is to a painter, they say. The vistas, on the other hand, add a lot to the attraction of this space.
As you open the curtains, a vast seascape greets you, inviting you to bask in its splendour. You also get partial views of the city’s skyscrapers, which serve as a reminder that you are in one of Sri Lanka’s busiest cities.
The en-suite marble-floored washroom, on the other hand, is devoid of a bathtub but compensates with quality Bvlgari products.
Clean towels and a working hairdryer are among the other amenities in the restroom. A walk-in closet with bathrobes, an iron table, a tea-coffee maker, a minibar, and an electronic safe are all included in the in-room amenities. I also spotted a bottle of wine next to the tea/coffee set, which I’m sure is not complimentary.
On the first day, I had a delicious breakfast at the ground-floor Yue Chuan restaurant. On the second day, I ate breakfast on the Victorian’s 10th floor, which overlooked Galle Face Green, Colombo Harbour, and the Indian Ocean. According to what I’ve heard, the Victorian is one of Colombo’s greatest wedding banquets. Rightfully so, for both the hospitality and the meal were outstanding. At their beautiful rooftop restaurant, the hotel held interesting drinks and dinner sessions for all the journalists/international bloggers and tourism board on one of the nights.
Because my stay at the Kingsbury Hotel was half-board, I was able to sample a wide range of breakfast options on both days. They also have a lovely pool, as well as the Honey Beach Club’s evening lounge. Indeed, a fantastic area to go swimming or unwind in the evening with a few cocktails. Overall, I had a wonderful time at the Kingsbury Hotel, which strives to provide world-class service to all of its visitors. If you’re visiting Colombo, this hotel is worth a look because it’s centrally placed and made it easy for me to go about.
