The Sky Lounge is an incredible place to hang out and have a cocktail after a busy day walking the streets of Colombo. Far from the hustle and bustle, you can enjoy gorgeous views of the ocean and city. I was recommended a cocktail by Asela, who gave excellent service. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out the lounge for longer or shorter stays. Signature cocktails, live music, stunning views - what’s not to love? ❤️
