Fodor's Expert Review Colombo Courtyard

Located close to the center of Colombo, this boutique hotel opened in 2012 and is a splash of luxury that's well worth a splurge. Large and immaculate rooms have modern furnishings and lovely polished wood floors. There are several wining and dining options, offering European and Asian menus, including a rooftop café with great views over the city. Even though it's been open just a short time, expansion plans added more rooms late in 2012 along with a spa and swimming pool.
