Colombo City Centre this week announced the launch of Abans Group’s maiden hotel project, Courtyard by Marriott Colombo, Sri Lanka’s first Courtyard by Marriott Hotel. 

Courtyard by Marriott Colombo is a part of Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of 30 brands and has a global presence with over 1,265 locations in 60 countries and territories. Abans Group hopes that such ventures will provide the necessary impetus to Sri Lanka’s lagging economy by attracting business travellers.

The 164-room hotel located at the heart of the city’s central business district, adjacent to Colombo City Centre, offers a sophisticated yet comfortable environment. Guests can now bask in the sleek comfort of modern rooms and suites that feature ultimate conveniences. With stunning views of the city skyline, Beira Lake and the ocean, guests can stay in plush suites ideal for extended stays or family travel.

Courtyard by Marriott Colombo specialises in catering to business travellers who seek to combine work and leisure. The hotel provides convenient business connectivity with contemporary rooms and work areas designed for efficiency and comfort. The thoughtfully designed rooms offer functional workspaces and high-speed internet access, allowing visitors to stay both connected and productive. The hotel’s state-of-the-art meeting venues are suited for both large and intimate gatherings. It boasts a space spread over 14,500 sq. ft., designed for meetings and events.

Recreational facilities at the hotel include a well-equipped 24-hour fitness centre and an outdoor pool. Courtyard by Marriott Colombo offers several dining options for sophisticated palates, such as the Beira Kitchen which serves international as well as local cuisine and Tito’s Café, a deli that serves delectable freshly baked breads, rich coffees and one-of-a-kind tea. The Lounge provides a relaxing atmosphere with light beverages and assorted bites.

Courtyard by Marriott Colombo is complemented by Colombo City Centre’s retail mall of international standards, complete with a food court, entertainment and gaming venues, gourmet supermarket and 6-screen multiplex cinema. Visitors to the hotel can reap the maximum benefit of the mall’s approximately 200,000 square foot retail space. Spread over five floors, it offers a great combination of high-end local and global brands, culinary experiences and entertainment opportunities.

Both Courtyard by Marriott Colombo and Colombo City Centre are projects initiated by Abans Group, a diverse business conglomerate. The Group has always strived to revitalise the local economy by such bold initiatives of monumental proportions that generate much-needed foreign exchange for Sri Lanka. Abans Group hopes that the venture, which has generated approximately 230 employment opportunities, will offer a new impetus to Sri Lanka’s struggling economy by attracting business travellers.
