He said that they will also add 40 more rooms to the hotel by end of 2018. This will be a boutique type hotel offering a swimming pool and other four star facilities.

The hotel alsohas banquets facilities at reasonable rates and this is fast catching up. “We could accommodate 200 guests.” Director Santhusah Perera said that they also have two large restaurants to cater to both in-house and outside guests and have three foreign (Chinese,Thai and Indian) chefs to offer authentic Chinese and Indian dishes.
