Shangri-La Colombo - Hotel Review
"This smart 35-floor high rise hotel has elegant rooms, standout restaurants and a direct route into One Galle Face (the city’s premier mall). Its prime location between historic Galle Face Green and Beira Lake means it's well placed for Colombo’s sights and suits those looking to be near both shops and restaurants."
