Original answer
Here are widely recommended hotels across Sri Lanka (selected for heritage, luxury, eco‑credentials and location). I grouped them by region and noted what each is best known for.
Colombo / City
- Galle Face Hotel — iconic colonial beachfront hotel in Colombo; great for history, fine dining and central location. (traveltalkasia.com)
- Shangri‑La / Taj Samudra / Cinnamon Grand (Colombo) — top full‑service luxury options for business, city stays and families. (en.wikipedia.org)
Galle & South Coast (heritage, beaches, surf)
3) Amangalla (Galle Fort) — restored Dutch‑era grand hotel inside Galle Fort; superb for history and heritage stays. (theworlds50best.com)
4) Cape Weligama (near Mirissa/Galle) — cliffside luxury resort with private villas and ocean views; popular for honeymooners and whale‑watching access. (forbes.com)
