Uga Residence stands in the heart of Colombo, between Park Street and the Gangarama Buddhist shrine. Built in the nineteenth century, the house once hosted dignitaries and European nobility, and today it is an eleven-suite boutique hotel run by Uga Escapes. Kompannavediya Railway Station is 1.1 km away and Kollupitiya Railway Station 1.3 km, with the capital's business, entertainment and shopping districts close at hand.
The hotel is 29 km as the crow flies from Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake, and the drive is about 32 km, usually taking 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to Uga Residence.
The Park Suites have ornate furnishings, warm lighting and modern amenities, and each has a living room, a bedroom, an en suite bathroom and a private outdoor courtyard. The Residence Suite is a palatial retreat with its own spacious private garden.
Around the suites are spacious gardens, a swimming pool, a gym and event facilities, suited to short stays and longer ones alike.
The restaurant pairs traditional haute cuisine with a contemporary approach to ingredients and presentation, offering chef's specials, à la carte dishes and desserts alongside a curated wine collection. It seats 100, indoors or al fresco with views of the swimming pool, and the adjacent Residence Bar serves pre-dinner cocktails and late-night snacks.
Colombo draws on Sri Lankan, Indian, Arab, Chinese, Malay, Portuguese, Dutch and British influences, and the word "serendipity" is itself said to have its origin here. Beyond the Gangarama shrine next door, the city offers contemporary dining, art galleries and museums, and restored old quarters with local food, small shops and cafés.
