Artisan Villa Colombo  

Tucked in Borella on Colombo’s quieter side, Artisan Villa Colombo sits about 4 km from the city centre. You’re a short drive from Bally’s Casino and Nawaloka Hospital, roughly 2.7 miles from Galle Face Green and Galle Face Beach, and close to Dewatagaha Mosque, the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall, House of Fashions and Royal Colombo Golf Club.

This small villa delivers a boutique vibe across six air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, safes and desks. Private bathrooms include bidets and complimentary toiletries, and daily housekeeping keeps things crisp. Public spaces open to a terrace and garden, with a library, picnic and barbecue areas for low-key hangouts.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or unwind on the terrace and garden grounds. Concierge and a tour desk can help arrange excursions, and there’s a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) plus free self-parking onsite. Laundry and dry-cleaning services add convenience.

A business center and complimentary wireless internet keep work on track. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

On-site options include a restaurant, a coffee shop/café and a bar. A complimentary breakfast is provided, with snacks and limited-hour room service available for in-room convenience.
