Here are top Colombo options well suited for long-term business stays (serviced apartments or hotels with long-stay amenities), with why they work and where they’re best located.

Shortlist — best for long business stays

• Shangri‑La, Colombo / One Galle Face (Shangri‑La serviced apartments)

  • Why: 1–2 bedroom serviced apartments with full kitchens and living areas, hotel services (housekeeping, business centre, meeting/restaurant options) and a prime Galle Face / business-district location. Good for executives who need residential space plus hotel facilities. (en.wikipedia.org)

• Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo

  • Why: Large hotel with extensive facilities (pool, gyms, restaurants, meeting spaces) and rooms/suites that work well for extended stays; convenient for offices across central Colombo and around Beira Lake. Good balance of space, F&B options and business services. (en.wikipedia.org)

• Taj Samudra Colombo

  • Why: Long-established five‑star on Galle Face with business centre, conference facilities and large rooms; ocean-front location good for executive guests and entertaining clients. (en.wikipedia.org)

• VAUX Park Street / boutique serviced apartments (Colombo 02)

  • Why: Small, fully furnished serviced lofts designed for short & long stays with in‑unit kitchens, dedicated workspace and concierge — ideal if you want an apartment-feel with managed services in the Cinnamon Gardens / Park Street area. (VAUX.co)

• Galadari (soon/being rebranded to Radisson Blu Galadari) / Radisson‑managed Galadari

  • Why: Large, centrally located property undergoing major refurbishment and moving under Radisson management — promising modernised rooms, extensive meeting/banquet facilities and scale that suits corporate travel and long-term stays. (Check current brand/status when booking.) (dailynews.lk)

How to choose (fast checklist)

• Need full apartment-style living (kitchen, washer/dryer) → pick a serviced-apartment product (Shangri‑La serviced apartments, VAUX or dedicated serviced-apartment providers in Colombo).
• Frequent client meetings or events → hotel with large meeting / F&B options (Cinnamon Lakeside, Taj Samudra, Galadari/Radisson).
• Work-from-room reliability → confirm dedicated high-speed broadband and backup power (ask property for bandwidth SLA and generator/UPS).
• Location preference: Colombo 01–03 / Galle Face = close to major offices and government; Colombo 02 (Cinnamon Gardens/Park Street) = quieter, embassy/consulate area with cafés; stay near your office to cut commute.
• Budget vs. convenience: long-stay rates often improve for 30+ day bookings — ask for corporate/extended-stay packages that include utilities, housekeeping and Wi‑Fi.

Practical next steps

• If you tell me the district (e.g., Galle Face, Cinnamon Gardens, Fort) or your typical daily commute location, I can narrow this to 3 exact properties with current long-stay packages and estimated monthly pricing.
• If you’d like, I can also check availability and current extended‑stay offers for specific hotels (I’ll look them up and include links and citations).
