Hotels in Colombo District, Sri Lanka

Colombo District hugs Sri Lanka's west coast, a tropical city region with temperatures averaging 80°F (27°C) year-round. It's famous for its mix of colonial-era buildings and chaotic bazaars, like the 16th-century Dutch Hospital in the Fort area and the bustling Pettah market. Dry months from December to March are perfect for strolling along Galle Face Green or swimming at Mount Lavinia beach, while the rainy season from May to August lets you explore the National Museum or catch a train to Kandy for less than $5.
