For many years Negombo suffered from a reputation as a cheap tourist destination, but this is rapidly changing as a result of the many new hotel developments as well as refurbishment work on existing properties that are taking shape here.

In a matter of a few years after the end of the war that ravaged the country and had a deep and adverse effect on the development of the hotel and tourism industry in Sri Lanka; Negombo is being reinvented as the latest destination for high end tourists in Sri Lanka.

It is to this category that St. Lachlan Hotel and Suites belong. Managed by the hospitality guru Harpo, and marketed by LUXE Hospitality concepts, a venture of Expolanka, the hotel consists of 10 deluxe rooms and 6 suites. This is the first truly high end boutique property in the famous Lewis Place tourism zone. Located just a few minutes’ walk from the broad and sandy beaches of Negombo, the hotel consists of a bar and restaurant, swimming pool, free Wi-Fi access and a personalised service concept to cater to all but the most discerning traveller. All rooms are complete with state of the art facilities that include LED TV panels, satellite TV, movie library, and tea coffee making facilities, mini bar, bathrobe and slippers as well as “SPA CEYLON” toiletries.

The ARIA Restaurant and the AQUA Lounge will also add a new dimension to the entertainment scene in Negombo promising the same high quality international cuisine and stylish ambiance which is a hallmark of every Harpo Venture.

Whether it’s a few nights in transit or a well-deserved holiday for the busy executive, St. Lachlan Hotel & Suites fits the bill in every way. This property is the vanguard for boutique developments and the changing face of Negombo.
