"'Among business travellers this place is known as the city’s most efficient and most comfortable business hotel. With six restaurants (one of which is opened around the clock), a pub, a 24-hour business centre, a fully equipped sports-and-fitness club and even a masseur at hand, you needn’t even leave the hotel.'"

Location
The five-star Hilton Hotel occupies a prime seven-acre site overlooking the Indian Ocean and Beira Lake, and a short stroll away from Colombo's commercial hub. It enhances the Hilton's reputation for high-class facilities and a traditional elegance in the heart of the city. The journey from the international airport is about one hour.
Introduction
Set within Colombo Fort - a three-mile long rampart originally built in the sixteenth century by the Portuguese and then further developed by the Dutch and the British, the modern Hilton building stands between the government Treasury - housed in a spectacular 17th century Colonial building in front and the modern twin towers of Colombo's World Trade Centre on the side. The rooms provide extensive views of Colombo Fort, the Beira Lake and the Indian Ocean. Convenient overhead walkways link the hotel to its separate sports and recreational facilities as well as the World Trade Centre which houses banks, airline offices, restaurants and cafes.
