ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Colombo offers 5-star accommodation with a sauna. My stay at ITC Colombo was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we checked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The staff are exceptional—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely eager to make your stay perfect. A special mention must go to Amanda, whose courteous and caring attitude made a lasting impression. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, making me feel truly valued as a guest. The rooms are modern, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. Every element—from the comfortable bedding to the smart technology—reflects luxury and thoughtful design.

The peaceful surroundings and the magnificent scenery were hardly things you would expect from a place just an hour's drive away from Colombo. It was the perfect escape for two people who were wishing for solitude and comfort. I would like to thank the team for making us feeling welcome and giving us an amazing stay!
