    21:33 FYI. The smaller old building on the left with the green terrace is the old parliament and the big old building next to it is the presidential secretariat office.

      @Leroy Jamison I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
      Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    Ok, the hotel is a nice try, but does not really remind me of a typical Shangri La unfortunately. The typical Shangri La coziness is missing. Very cold hotel. For me in Colombo are only 2 hotels to stay at, the Cinnamon Grand and the Mount Lavinia Hotel, both top notch.

    • @akdamagecontrol
      @akdamagecontrol 3 роки тому

      Just don't to the Heritance Tea Factory in Nuwara Eliya.... we had a terrible experience there with the staff and the rooms! The hotel (aside from the horribly dated rooms) is interesting and the food is decent. We enjoyed the wait staff the most. There is also a gorgeous cottage garden.

    Amazing place and video ! I will stay one week in the other Shangri La in Sri Lanka in less than two weeks.. can't wait !
    Just a remark about your videos.. as I've already told you before, it is absolutely perfect and my favorite weekly program but one single thing is missing to reach absolute perfection : can you please name what you are eating ? It would be so great !! :)
    Also, really love when you are taking us for a walk around the hotel or in the city :)

    It's crucial to refrain from supporting UA-camrs who endorse the controversial business of Mohomad Sajjad Mawzoon, a notorious tax evader and a major contributor to the economic issues in Sri Lanka. The Shangri La Hotel Group associated with him should not receive any support or recognition. Instead, let's promote businesses with strong ethical and responsible practices.
