Best Western to Open First Hotel in Sri Lanka on 1 July 2014

Best Western is preparing to open its first hotel in Sri Lanka.

The brand new Best Western Elyon Hotel Colombo, which is located on Marine Drive, will offer 60 guest rooms, all of which come equipped with 32-inch LCD TVs, iPod docking stations and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The hotel is scheduled to open on 1 July 2014.

Facilities at the Best Western Elyon Hotel Colombo include a stylish rooftop bar and terrace, an all-day dining restaurant serving up an a la carte menu of local and international dishes, a boardroom capable of hosting up to 30 people, a business centre, and a fitness center.

“With fast-paced GDP growth and a burgeoning tourism industry, there is no doubt that Sri Lanka is one of Asia’s new ‘tiger economies’,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International’s Vice President of International Operations for Asia & Middle East. “With economic growth similar to that of China and international visitor arrivals rising in double-digits, this wonderful country holds tremendous opportunities for both business and leisure travelers.”

Best Western Elyon Hotel Colombo joins a collection of more than 200 Best Western hotels either operating or in the pipeline across Asia and the Middle East.
