Full accommodation information

Housed within the walls of a columned, 19th century townhouse and surrounded by leafy gardens, this boutique hotel is a unique and luxurious base from which to explore the delights of Colombo.
 
Uga Residence certainly has the feel of a grand home, with only 11 suites in total, each elegantly decorated and furnished. The Park Suites boast a separate living area, bedroom, and outdoor private courtyard, as well as a generous and well-appointed bathroom. The palatial Residential Suite, meanwhile, offers a truly decadent space in which to stretch out, including a 900 square foot courtyard all to itself. 
 
The gourmet restaurant, Rare at Uga Residence, is a destination in its own right; a Sri Lankan fine-dining experience not to be missed, featuring authentic ingredients and alongside many influences from international cuisine. 
 
With a convenient central location in Colombo, you'll be surprised at the peace and tranquility to be found at Uga Residence, making it the perfect place to retreat after a day exploring the bustling environs of this exciting urban centre. 
 
 

While in Colombo, take a visit to the National Museum, where you'll see a host of treasures and gain insight into the past of this fascinating island. 

Close to the international airport, Residence is a great place for either a first or last stop on a tour of Sri Lanka's wider delights.
