Shangri-La Colombo

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property with great views. Well maintained. Fantastic staff everywhere you turn. A true Gem!! Unfortunately the area around the Shangri La and the other hotels in the area have fallen into some disrepair and has become more chaotic and less of an oasis for Colombo that it once was."
