Sri Lanka is set to welcome two new luxury hotels: the JW Marriott in Negombo and the The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. in Mirissa. These high-end projects, spearheaded by prominent businessman Dhammika Perera, are anticipated to create approximately 1,500 jobs for local communities.
The JW Marriott will feature 500 rooms, making it a standout destination on Negombo’s coast, while the Ritz-Carlton in Mirissa will offer 228 luxurious keys. Both hotels, initially slated to open in 2021 and 2022, faced delays due to the country’s economic downturn. However, construction has resumed, with openings expected by the end of next year.
