Club-level guests can take in the skyline from the 32nd-floor Horizon Club Lounge, with its own private check-in, daily breakfast, and evening cocktails and canapés.

Dining at this Shangri-La Colombo is a destination in itself — Shang Palace serves authentic Chinese cuisine, Central brings international dishes to life in open show kitchens, and Capital Bar & Grill focuses on steaks and fresh seafood, with afternoon tea served at Sapphyr Lounge. Families are well catered for too, with the Shangri-La Adventure Zone play space and one of the largest outdoor pools in Colombo, while Chi, The Spa uses Ceylonese botanicals for its treatments.
