Taj Samudra Colombo

Taj Samudra Colombo sits in eleven acres of established gardens in Colombo 3, opposite the Galle Face Green Promenade, with views over the Indian Ocean from many of its rooms. It is a five-star hotel built for both business and leisure stays, close to the city's commercial district.

The hotel is well placed for getting around by rail as well as road: Kompannavediya (KPN) Station is 0.3 km away, Secretariat Halt is 0.9 km, and Colombo Fort Station is 1.2 km. Bandaranaike International Airport is around 28 km away as the crow flies, with the Airport Expressway cutting the drive time.

The 303 rooms are arranged across Standard, Superior and Deluxe categories, each with a choice of sea or city views, wooden flooring and modern conveniences. For meetings and events, the hotel offers a heritage banqueting complex of four halls, the ocean-facing Samudra Ballroom and the Golden Pond Function Hall, seven banquet spaces in total, plus two lawns for outdoor functions.

Dining ranges from all-day casual venues to fine dining, with a focus on Indian cuisine alongside international dishes. Recreation facilities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis and squash courts, a jogging track and a shopping arcade, and the hotel also runs a business centre, bar, night club and car hire service. Guests can walk across to the Galle Face Green Promenade in the evening, and the World Trade Centre, the Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct and the Old Parliament are all within easy reach, along with the older streets of Pettah and Fort.
