Here are highly recommended Colombo hotels known for excellent breakfasts (buffets, live stations or standout Sri Lankan breakfast options). I’ve listed what makes each one notable and included sources you can check or book through.

• Cinnamon Grand Colombo — large all‑day buffet (PLATES) and executive‑lounge breakfast options; extensive Sri Lankan + international choices. (cinnamonhotels.com)
• Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo — “The Dining Room” buffet praised for a wide international + Sri Lankan breakfast spread. (cinnamonhotels.com)
• Shangri‑La, Colombo (Central) — full breakfast buffet with multiple live stations and wide variety; popular weekend brunch too. (shangri-la.com)
• Taj Samudra (Ports of Call) — long‑standing all‑day restaurant serving an extensive breakfast buffet and Sri Lankan specialties. (tajhotels.com)
• The Kingsbury (Harbour Court) — large, theatre‑style breakfast buffet and very popular Sunday brunch; sea/port views. (thekingsburyhotel.com)
• Galle Face Hotel (The Verandah) — heritage hotel with seaside breakfast buffet and colonial‑style setting (nice views over Galle Face Green). (gallefacehotel.com)
• Hilton Colombo — full buffet breakfast (Graze Kitchen / Cafe Kai) and multiple dining outlets with international choices. (hilton.com)

Notes

• Many of these hotels offer both international and Sri Lankan items (hoppers, string hoppers, pol sambol, coconut sambol, etc.) and live‑cook omelet/hopper stations — great if you want a local breakfast experience. (See individual restaurant pages above for menus and opening hours.) (shangri-la.com)
• Breakfast prices, opening hours and brunch offerings can change with season/promotions — I used the hotels’ current dining pages to confirm; if you’d like I can check prices/availability for specific dates. (shangri-la.com)

If you want, tell me your travel dates, budget, or whether you prefer sea views, a large buffet, or a more boutique/heritage breakfast — I can narrow this to the best pick and check current rates or make a comparison.
