Colombo Courtyard, an urban boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Colombo, has attracted a diverse pool of guests and diners, with its chic interiors, excellent service and delectable food and beverages.
For its distinctive design, excellent accommodation options, pleasant and dedicated staff, Colombo Courtyard has jumped all the ranks to become No. 2 on popular travel website, TripAdvisor.com, in its first year of operation.
