Our Executive Suite Experience
The executive suite gave us a separate living room, a comfortable bedroom and a generous bathroom. A writing desk made the layout useful for work. Large windows brought in city and ocean views.
The bathroom was a highlight. It had a double vanity, freestanding bath and separate rainfall shower. Storage was also well planned, with a dressing area and mirrored wardrobes.
Breakfast and Dining
Breakfast during our stay offered a strong mix of Sri Lankan and international dishes. The egg hopper station stood out, alongside grilled chicken and fish. This was one of the most memorable parts of the stay.
The hotel currently lists five venues: Colombo Kitchen, Bayu, Colpetty Lounge, Ceylon Bake Shop and the Pool Bar. Breakfast is normally charged unless it is included in the room rate or an eligible Marriott Bonvoy benefit.

Sheraton Club Lounge
The lounge served nuts, fruit and hot and cold drinks during our visit. Evening food was offered from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, followed by desserts from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. These timings describe our stay and should not be treated as a permanent schedule.
Marriott currently advertises a Club Lounge with complimentary access for eligible Platinum, Titanium and Ambassador members, plus one guest. Paid access may also be available. Our separate Sheraton Colombo Club Lounge review has more photographs and detail.
Pool, Spa and Fitness
The hotel lists an outdoor rooftop pool, Shine Spa and a fitness centre. Shine Spa is currently shown as open daily from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Confirm treatment and pool access before arrival.
