Media Reviews
"`Established in March 2007 after a mere eight months of frantic renovation work, the CASA is the…..hip hotel in the Colombo scene. However, while its reputation may be exclusive, I was glad to find the attitude of the staff most welcoming and totally without pretension. On arrival you are met by your own personal staff member – your CASA Domo-who will see to your every need. I was assured that even if it was two in the morning I should give him a call if there was any problem. Your Domo prides himself as being your contact to the hotel and as such "

Location
Casa Colombo is an ornate "retro-chic" hotel that blends flamboyant old-word charm with contemporary design. It is centrally located down a private cul de sac in Colombo 4, so escaping the bustle of Galle Road. It is well placed for the beaches of Mount Lavinia, temples and kovils, sought-after shops such as Barefoot and Paradise Road, restaurants and nightclubs. The drive from the international airport is about one hour.
Introduction
This 200-year-old Moorish mansion, originally built by a wealthy Indian trading family, has been carefully restored as a stunning 12-room boutique hotel, ending years of neglect by numerous tenants, including the Government's Department of Census and Statistics. The restoration of this magnificent heritage property is a triumph for its owner, Lalin Jinasena, a lifestyle designer and entrepreneur. Casa is a tribute to his creative talents and Sri Lankan craftsmanship (all items from lighting, furniture and fabrics have been produced locally). The original components of this heritage property - intricate mosaic floors, molded ceilings, elaborate columns and arches, ornate balconies and window awnings - have all been retained and blended successfully with vibrant colours, neon lighting, contemporary furniture using elements of cement hard wood, brushed steel, and copper, black and white photography, and the latest in HiFi and WiFi cutting-edge technology. The end result is a contemporary boutique hotel that prides itself on a highly personalized service. The idea here is for guests to make Casa Colombo their home away from home. There is no reception desk; instead, from the moment you touch down in Colombo's airport, the Casa limousine, a vintage Austin, awaits you with your own personal domo who will from then on attend to your every need, whether it is a fresh glass of juice by the side of the pool, an excursion to the beach, or respect for your wish to be left to your own thoughts.

Facilities
High tea is served at the T-REPUBLIC located on the front lawn, and cocktails are served at the ICE3 a fun lounge bar created to resemble `chilling within a cube of ice.' Casa's unique pink swimming pool is inviting by day or night. A choice of uniquely designed cement and glass sun beds and canopied cement lounge beds await you under the shade of a large leafy tree. In-room spa services including a range of massages and beauty therapies are on offer. Casa Colombo is in partnership with the luxurious Angsana Spa located a few blocks away where guests can indulge in a wider range of relaxing treatments.

Note: Bars and restaurants are also attracting growing interest from Colombo diners and, as Casa Colombo had no alcohol licence in early 2009 it was operating a BYO policy, with a charge for `corkage'' on everything from a bottle of wine to a bottle of Lion beer.
Excursions
The Mahout Club, a sister company, is on hand to provide guests with an insight into Colombo's historical past.
