"A colonnaded Colombo icon on the island’s west coast that underwent a major restoration of its North Wing, modernizing guest rooms and public spaces while foregrounding history through Heritage Tours and an on-site museum. Highlights include a seaside restaurant and a new L’Occitane spa, plus quirky historic artifacts on display—everything from Prince Philip’s early personal car to a cannonball lodged in the building—and behind-the-scenes access to spaces with literary ties, such as the office where Arthur C. Clarke completed a novel." - Mary Holland
