The Best Western Elyon Colombo, the Sri Lankan installation of the worlds largest hotel chain Best Western International recently celebrated the successful completion of a year of operations. Situated on Baseline Road, Colombo 06, the Best Western Elyon Colombo is reputed for providing the highest standards of service, ambiance and quality to each guest.

Speaking on the completion of a year of operations and the hotels plans for the future, Renuke Coswatte, General Manager, The Best Western Elyon Colombo, explained, “We are pleased that the Best Western Elyon Colombo has gained such a lot of exposure in so short a span of time. Not only are we known as a great venue for visiting business travelers and tourists, but we have also garnered a niche as a hotel of choice for medical tourism visitors to Sri Lanka. Our exacting standards for the delivery of services and cuisine has set us apart as one of Sri Lanka’s must-visit locations. The rise in the popularity of Sri Lanka as a destination for medical tourism has also proven to be a segment we are looking at for future expansion since we are situated mere minutes away from some of the best-known hospitals around the island. We have big plans for the future and assure our customers that we will continue to raise the bar in terms of the standards adhered to at the Best Western Elyon Colombo.”

The Best Western Elyon Colombo also welcomed back its very first customers shortly after the completion of their first year of operations. Travelling to Sri Lanka from the Seychelles for medical tourism, the guests have visited Sri Lanka multiple times in the past in addition to traveling widely in other countries.

Speaking on their experience in Sri Lanka, and their stay at the Best Western Elyon, Jourdanne and Norman Elisa explained, “We have traveled all over the world for treatment as well as leisure, yet our experience in Sri Lanka has assured us that our search for an ideal medical tourism location is at an end. Not only have we received the highest quality medical treatment in Sri Lanka, our stay at the Best Western Elyon Colombo has proved to be both relaxing and truly comfortable. The staff is well trained and provides efficient and caring service – truly making us feel at home and well taken care of. We would not only recommend it to our friends back home as a medical tourism location but also as the ideal vacation location. The similarity in cuisine between the Seychelles and Sri Lanka is wonderful and the stress of treatment is minimized by the degree of attention to our comfort and care we receive on each of our stays. They truly treat us like family and that is hard to find”.

For an establishment in its second year of operations, the Best Western Elyon Colombo has already picked up a host of coveted awards; winning a TripAdvisor Travelers Choice Award for 2015 as well as an Excellence award from Booking.com in quick succession. The location is also developing popularity as a local attraction for its City Lights rooftop lounge, offering panoramic views of the Colombo cityscape in addition to a wide variety of localized food and cocktails as well as for its conference and meeting facilities that are ideal for international travelers business needs.
